Property in The City

The City AreaSherlock property finders source residential property in The City of London for home buyers, investors and organisations. 

The City Area Overview

Many areas east of Westminster are often referred to as The City, although in the real area of The  City encompasses  Holborn, The Barbican Estate, Moorgate, Liverpool Street, St Pauls, Moorgate and Old Street. Despite being one of London’s most residential areas at the turn of the 20th century, The City now has a residential population of less than twelve thousand residents. However, areas such as Moorgate and Liverpool Street have some modern architectural wonders for property buyers.
The city is largely populated by city workers, with a significant proportion of renters, both long and short term. The city has seen a considerable increase in property values in the past decade, with most parts increasing by more than the London average.

• Forward thinking architecture
• Lack of supply, always keeping prices high
• Good return on investment for buy-to-let investors
• Strong rental market


Properties Available in The City

Property in The City is varied. Around Moorgate and Barbican it is often difficult to see the distinction between residential and commercial buildings. The majority of the housing stock in this area has been built in the past thirty years, with a large number being built in the last ten years.  The Barbican has long been one of London’s cultural and residential landmarks with apartments often fetching central London prices.
Period properties can be sourced closer to Chancery Lane, however, they are few and far between and typically tend to be above or behind commercial premises.  A larger number of period properties can be found closer to the Shoreditch and Old Street sections of The City with very sought after warehouse and factory conversions.


• New build apartments
• Warehouse and factory conversions
• 1960’s modernist architecture
