A report by real estate consultancy Knight Frank reveals that there is a rising interest among Middle Eastern investors in the Chelsea Waterfront
Leading global real estate consultancy Knight Frank has seen a notable year on year increase in Middle Eastern visitors to London over the summer months for 2023. In a recent analysis of Heathrow Airport data, the footfall of Middle Eastern travellers through the airport, the UK’s largest and the busiest in Europe, has increased 14% from 541,116 in June 2022 to 614,227 in June this year. This surge in Middle Eastern interest in London's real estate market can be attributed, among other factors, to the capital's enduring cultural heritage, strong legal infrastructure, and prestigious educational options, making it a compelling choice for those seeking a diverse lifestyle, and stable investment opportunity.
Knight Frank data also reports that the average price paid by Middle Eastern buyers for properties during this period, stands at £2.6 million. As the London property market continues to attract discerning investors from the region, one of the developments in central London that continues to catch the eye of Middle Eastern investors is the prestigious Chelsea Waterfront.
This rise in interest in Chelsea Waterfront can be largely attributed to a robust second half of 2022, where Middle Eastern buyers showed a significant increase in interest between July and December compared to the preceding period. It also exemplifies the development's global appeal and ability to captivate international investors from diverse backgrounds. The property's ideal location, luxurious amenities, and reputation for being a truly exceptional London residence have solidified its position as an attractive investment opportunity.
Nicholas Spencer, Partner- London International Project Sales at Knight Frank said, “Knight Frank has been assisting high net worth clients from the GCC region find homes and investments in London for many years, and Chelsea Waterfront has become one of the most popular locations for our clients due to its unique proposition. It provides a tranquil waterside lifestyle, with arguably some of the best views available of the London skyline.

In 2024, there will also be the addition of an onsite restaurant.”
“With completed units ranging from one bed to spacious four beds, Chelsea Waterfront reflects terrific value for money for those looking to acquire a luxury home in central London. It has always resonated very well with our Middle Eastern clients and continues hold a special place within Knight Franks portfolio.”
