Looking for a Flat With a View?

New research has found homebuyers in this area could face paying a 50 per cent premium for views of the Thames river.

According to estate agent Marsh and Parsons, a two-bedroom flat with views of the river in King Henry's Reach, situated on the Middlesex side of the course on the approach to Hammersmith Bridge, is currently on the market for £1,250,000, equivalent to £1,275 per square foot.

A comparative two-bedroom apartment in the same gated development with no Thames view is £825,000, that is £425,000 less, meaning the view demands a 52 per cent premium.
