一项调查显示,对于想在英国购买资产的海外投资者,私立学校两英里半径内的平均房价已经超过全国平均水平
[caption id="attachment_130467" align="aligncenter" width="400"] 英国学校附近房价强势上涨[/caption]英国房产中介汉普顿国际(Hamptons International)的一项调查显示,2014年,英格兰和威尔士平均房价173,500英镑, 私立学校两英里半径内房产平均价格为 354,000英镑;伦敦也是如此。
“伦敦平均房地产价格在2014年高出2007年峰值30%,私立学校附近的房价更是上涨了66%。” 汉普顿国际研究主管费欧纽拉·厄利(Fionnuala Earley)说。
调查发现,威斯敏斯特学校附近房价现在是2007年的峰值水平的一倍,而圣保罗学校附近房价也上涨了75%。
虽然私立学校附近房产和当地房地产价格之间不一定存在因果关系,但地区吸引力与是否有好的私立学校有着必然联系。
“最好的私立学校附近房产已经看到价格的提升,这些地区的房价从市场低迷时期复苏的速度比全国平均水平更快,而且涨幅更大。” 厄利说。
在伦敦的平均房价高出2007年峰值30%,其他地区也在急起直追。
首都伦敦的房产价格近期疲软,但仍比去年同期高出12%。汉普顿国际指出,随着复苏势头在全英扩散,其他地方房产前景向好。

British homes near good schools show strong price growth
Prices in London are now 30 per cent above the market peak in 2007.
For overseas investors looking to buy assets in Britain, the average property prices within a two-mile radius of an independent school have outperformed the national average, a survey showed.
According to a survey by agent Hamptons International, the average property price in England and Wales stood at £173,500 last year while the average price for a property within a two-mile radius of an independent school was £354,000. The same pattern was also seen in London.
"London property prices in 2014 were on average 30 per cent higher than at the peak of the market in 2007, but homes close to an independent school were 66 per cent higher," said Fionnuala Earley, a director of research at Hamptons.
The survey found that properties close to Westminster School were now 100 per cent higher than the 2007 peak and those near St Paul's School were 75 per cent higher.
While there is not necessarily a causal link between proximity to independent schools and local property prices, there is a correlation between the desirability of an area and the existence of good independent schools.
"Properties close to the best independent schools have seen an uplift in prices, recovering faster and more strongly from the market downturn than the national average," said Earley.
The average house price in London is now 30 per cent above the 2007 market peak and other areas of the country are playing catch-up.
Capital values in the capital may have softened recently but are still 12 per cent higher than a year earlier. And as the recovery spread, the prospects for the rest of the country were looking good, Hamptons said.
