The new Elizabeth line infrastructure has caused a large influx in property prices, even figures of triple-digit percentages have been reported. Drawing on this, Yahoo Finance has evaluated the places that have seen an increase and hot spots to look out for.

Northern Home Counties exec, Stuart Mun-Gavin comments on areas outside of London which have been affected by the Elizabeth Line: “Places such as Twyford or Wargrave… smaller villages and towns near Reading have seen a price increase due to the new infrastructure,”
