CBRE CROSSRAIL: THE IMPACT ON LONDON’S PROPERTY MARKET
e
MA
M aw ne
The impact of Crossrail on property will
be two-fold. Firstly, the improvement in
connectivity will open up new districts
and reduce travel times, both of which will
directly drive values in the commercial and
residential sectors. Secondly, it will act
as a catalyst for broader investment and
development around the affected stations.
These wider improvements will also unlock
considerable underlying value.”

Former office space converted to 79 residential
apartments, Scimitar House epitomises the prime
investment opportunities opened up via Crossrail, which
in Romford’s case are plentiful.

A FOCUS ON
ROMFORD
A ROMFORD RENAISSANCE
Romford’s town centre renewal is already attracting investment –
a factor that Crossrail will accelerate. GVA Grimley reports:
“Assisting the plans for Romford’s town centre’s
growth and leveraging from recent residential and
mixed use development completed, Crossrail’s
positive effect in chancing visibility and perceptions
will also drive market interest in this location.”
Residential beneits not only include a rise in the capital value of
property but also an accompanying rise in rental yields. Essexbased estate agents Balgones Property Group over the last year
have tracked a 10% rise in prices in Romford, compared with an
8% average for Essex as a whole and igures from eMoov show the
average price of an apartment in Romford is predicted to increace
by 40% by 2020.
Indeed, it’s predicted that with the London market showing signs
of cooling, the signiicantly elevated increases will be in the out-oftown and regional areas linked by Crossrail, transforming not just
residential prices but commercial and retail too, a fact backed up
by CBRE’s forecast that 62% of new businesses created as a result
of Crossrail will be outside of London.
“The average
apartment price in
Romford is predicted
to increase by 40%
by 2020
Romford is already showing signs of this pattern with town centre
change of use approvals from commercial to residential – Scimitar
House being one such example.

27.5% increase in residential values
and 15% for rental value.
Crossrail is Europe’s largest infrastructure
project, set to transport 200million
passengers per year, with each train
carrying 1,500 people – hence the
justiiable interest surrounding its potential
effects on the property industry.
CBRE has estimated that residential areas
surrounding host stations prices will
increase by 2.5% per year, which amounts
to a total increase of 13% over and above
capital appreciation once Crossrail is
operational OR, more simply a £60,000
additional value per property over the ive
year build up to Crossrail’s start up in 2018.
GVA Grimley predicts higher igures – a
27.5% increase in residential values and
15% for rental value. Their report on
Crossrail speciically identiies Romford
as a clear beneiciary of the improved
accessibility and describes an immediate
zone of inluence around the station –
of which Scimitar House is in.
“IN PROPERTY
TERMS, CROSSRAIL
IS A GAME
CHANGER.”
CBRE
HUNTING
OUT QUALITY
What’s important to note in all the
Crossrail literature is the emphasis
on a “strong focus on quality” for
developments around host stations,
something that Scimitar House
represents entirely with underground
parking, 24-hour concierge and luxury
speciication featuring names such as
Siemens and Philippe Starck.
Scimitar House is a project by London
boutique developers Gracewood, their
schemes characterised by innovative
use of technology and a championing
of style and design. With an exquisite
attention to detail and all the trappings
one would expect from an upmarket
development, Scimitar House is set to
become one of Romford town centre’s
landmark residences.
