Understand the Costs
Purchasing a property comes with a considerable amount of additional costs. If you are new to buying property and are taking out a mortgage, it's a good idea to get an idea of what you can afford before you start your proper search by obtaining your mortgage in principle. You can also get a good idea of your expected mortgage costs by using a mortgage calculator. You will also need to factor in other costs such as legal fees, furnishings, stamp duty and so on. It is always worth exploring any schemes or financial incentives that may be available to you. Ask your sales advisor for more information.

Over the centuries, aristocrats, artisans, poets, musicians, politicians and other quirky characters have all called Soho home and many blue plaques can be spotted on various buildings in the neighbourhood.
Property Demand in Soho
Due to a shift in lifestyle requirements, tenants, homebuyers and property investors are now placing higher importance on finding a residence that has at least one spacious double bedroom, an open plan kitchen, off street parking, and plenty of external space. Luxury on-site lifestyle facilities and a 24 hour concierge are also favoured if it is a residential development. A large portion of prime properties for sale in Soho — both freehold and leasehold — typically offer many of these features and services, so, understandably, there is high demand in this part of London.
