Let to Harrow Council – Area Guide

Known for it’s iconic eponymous school and stunning views over the London skyline, Harrow has developed substantially from being seen as an elite, wealthy area to a family-friendly north London suburb where landlords can let to Harrow Council.

Many older homes are being redeveloped to meet the demand for housing here, while several new developments are taking place to further the supply of local accommodation. For landlords, this provides even more opportunity to secure a property in an area that, according to Savills, will see prices rise by 20.2 per cent in the next five years.

Why invest in Harrow?
There is the opportunity for both private landlords to enjoy return on an investment in Harrow, along with the option for landlords to let to Harrow Council to alleviate the waiting list for housing.

There are roughly 246,011 inhabitants, and there are a number of new residential schemes taking place throughout Harrow to house newcomers. New developments include Artisan Place, near to the Harrow Boys School, and Lyon Square, a mixed-use development that includes a number of one, two and three-bedroom luxury apartments. Having undergone an 11.7 per cent annual price increase, Harrow now has an average property price of £413,987, according to the Land Registry. A two-bedroom property can fetch £367pw in rent on average, a rate that can be heightened by investing in properties near to the borough’s many transport links. With National Rail, London Underground and London overground services available, central London is on the doorstep. This makes it a particular place of interest for commuters wishing to be close to areas like Marylebone, Canary Wharf, Kensington and Knightsbridge, all of which are but a short journey away.

While areas such as Harrow-on-the-Hill and Pinner may be affluent, areas to the south of Harrow have high rates of poverty and therefore demand for council housing is strong.
