Turkish investors drive growth in London's Southbank real estate

Turkish investors are increasingly targeting urban regeneration areas in London, such as Southbank, Nine Elms, and King’s Cross, rather than traditional wealth hubs like Knightsbridge or Mayfair. This shift reflects a preference for modern amenities and better value per square meter in developing districts.

Data from Savills indicates that Turkish buyers accounted for 19.5% of all new residential sales in London facilitated by the firm’s international teams in 2025, marking a significant increase compared to 2024. This trend solidifies Turkey’s position as one of the most active international markets in the London property sector.

A notable example of this interest is the SEVEN penthouse located within the £1 billion Southbank Place project. Developed by Braeburn Estates—a joint venture between Qatari Diar and CWG—the four-bedroom duplex was designed by Albion Nord. The property is positioned as a prime example of the high-standard, centrally located living that attracts international capital to London’s future-focused developments.
