Gary Hersham, founder of Beauchamp Estates and one of London's longest-standing prime market figures, returns to the London Property Podcast for a conversation with Farnaz Fazaipour on the state of prime central London in 2026.

Gary discusses a developing return flow from the Gulf — non-doms and others who relocated to Dubai and Abu Dhabi now reconsidering after regional instability — and shares examples of recent enquiries his firm has received. The conversation also covers the divergence between the top end of the market (where trophy sales like Nick Candy's £265m house continue to set records) and the segment that bought between 2005–07 and 2014–15, where sellers face the most pressure.

Other topics include the psychology of ultra-high-net-worth buyers, the collapse in residential development margins under current transactional costs, performance across Beauchamp Estates' French and Spanish offices, and Gary's advice for both sellers and buyers in the current cycle.

UK property tax is now 3.7% of GDP — the highest of any major economy. The Treasury is asking whether overseas owners of £2m+ homes should pay an additional levy on top of the new mansion tax — the FT calls it an "oligarch premium". And yet central London rents are up 6.7% and super-prime lettings just had a record year. The sales market is repricing. The lettings market is tightening. Six stories on the prime London market in this week's Tuesday Bulletin.
