Led by Matt Lenzie, ex-Lloyds Bank and Bank of Scotland, we arrange commercial mortgages, bridging finance, and development finance across Notting Hill and the wider Kensington area.
Commercial property in Notting Hill trades at a significant discount to central London, offering attractive entry points for investors, with retail rents of £25-40 per square foot and office space from £20-32 per square foot. Borough-wide yields average 3.2%, though prime Notting Hill stock with secure tenants on longer leases can achieve tighter returns. Property values across Kensington have risen 8.5% over five years, and Notting Hill has broadly tracked this positive trajectory.
Property development in Notting Hill follows a pattern of incremental upgrading, with individual landlords and small investors improving their holdings to attract better-quality tenants at higher rents. Earl's Court massive regeneration scheme provides a supportive context for private-sector investment in the area.
