The Paddington property market

the area s regeneration prospects, with an
influx of new apartments being built as part
of the Paddington Central and Paddington
Basin developments.

new, some of the best Paddington
properties are from times gone by.
Buyers can choose from a myriad of
historical periods and architectural styles,
including period fronted apartment blocks,
white stucco Victorian terraces, railway
workers cottages, quaint mews houses
and post WWII dwellings.

The Paddington property market

Paddington s skyline could be changed
forever if plans from the Sellar Property Group
and Great Western meet with local council
approval.

Their new skyscraper proposal could bring

improvements to public space and the local
Tube station as well as stunning flats for sale.
House prices in Paddington have largely
remained stable over the past 12 months
although values have risen sharply.
According to Rightmove data, the average
Paddington property was worth 984,796 in
2013. Today April 2016 , the overall average
price stands at 1.1 million.

A little more about Paddington itself

Paddington has a rich and interesting
history that is irrevocably linked to
Isambard Kingdom Brunel and a fluffy bear
from Peru.
The neighbourhood, however, has its eyes
firmly fixed on the future. Regeneration is
happening at a rapid pace and its phoenix
like rebirth has already prompted
Vodafone, AstraZeneca, Prudential,
Novotel, Marks Spencer and Virgin
Active to relocate to W2.
