Mr Gittins added that the capital’s property market had apparently “turned a corner”, with home sales having started the year on a strong note.
Foxtons analyzed nine other types of investments, including wheat, oil, natural gas and the FTSE 100 index, but only two had higher returns than London property over the past 10 years. This analysis does not include other real estate markets.
According to the report, Bitcoin saw the biggest increase in value, rising 4,963% since 2013. Gold has been his second best investment over the past 10 years, increasing in value by 66.8%.
Following London real estate, the value of silver rose 22.9%, the FTSE 100 index returned 15.7% and the value of corn rose 7.9%, according to the report.
The value of the remaining investment options analyzed by Foxtons has declined. Wheat fell 2.5%, WTI crude oil fell 26.3%, Brent crude oil fell 30.2% and natural gas fell 41.5%.
“The investment environment is constantly changing, and while some traditional vehicles such as natural gas have fallen sharply in value over the past decade, other emerging markets such as cryptocurrencies have experienced increased volatility. “We went through a boom period regardless,” Gittins said. “But it’s fair to say that brick-and-mortar stores continue to be one of the most stable investments you can make over the years, and the long-term returns speak for themselves.”
