Virginia Water in UK’s Top 20 Most Expensive Streets

The statistics for the UK's property market in 2017 are in, and the figures are pretty hefty! Barton Wyatt, luxury estate agents in Surrey, have got the low-down on the areas that came out on the pricier end of the budget spectrum, including our very own Virginia Water.




Last year saw Belgravia's Grosvenor Crescent crowned as the UK's most expensive street, stealing the top-spot from Eaton Square (also in Belgravia) which was demoted to the bronze position. Grosvenor Crescent stretches from Belgrave Square to Duke of Wellington Place and, rather than the usual homes, this street is made up of lavish flats - which could be an indicator of market preference at the moment.

Surrey and Virginia Water
It's not a well-kept secret that Surrey is one of the most exclusive areas in the country, and 2017 saw over 1,200 homes selling for upwards of one million pounds; impressive numbers! This is made even more impressive when over 160 of these homes were sold for over two million pounds. One property on Wentworth (sold by Barton Wyatt) sold for the impressive price tag of £14.5 million.

It probably isn't too much of a shock, therefore, that Surrey was home to seven out of twenty streets where property prices fetched the highest figures in the UK. One such road was the beautiful tree-lined avenue of Gorse Hill Road on the Wentworth Estate in Virginia Water - a highly desirable place to live, proven by its new status amongst the elite of Great Britain's streets, and where sales of up to £7m were seen in 2017.

Property for Sale in Virginia Water
At Barton Wyatt, they have numerous properties available in Virginia Water and an in-depth knowledge of the area that gives our customers confidence when looking for their new home with us.

Two such properties we'd like to showcase today are Bruton Park on Wentworth and a 6 bedroom mansion in Pipers End, also on the Wentworth Estate.





Bruton Park is an architectural feat to behold, completed with a flourish of both traditional and moderns finishes to create a breathtaking home over three floors. With 7 bedrooms, 7 bathrooms and 5 receptions, there's plenty of space in this property to raise a family and entertain guests. Other features include a wine cellar, TV room and grand leisure complex comprising of a swimming pool, steam room, gymnasium and more. The property is set in vast grounds with 3.5 acres of glorious park life and backing onto the River Bourne. The price tag of £18.5m gives a hint as to its amazing qualities.




The property at Pipers End holds a unique opportunity to be built entirely to your specifications. The current landowner is selling the opportunity with planning permission already granted to erect a grand six-bedroom, 6-bathroom and 5 reception room mansion with a three-car garage and indoor swimming pool. The mansion will cover a total of 11,371 square feet and will surely be a superb home for the lucky owner. Price guide is £7.95m

Is Surrey Property Still a Good Investment?

It’s fair to say that 2017 has had a bit of an impact on the doubt of property investors. We’ve seen a lot happen with Brexit, the mortgage tax-relief removal for high-end tax payers, stricter lending rules for big buy-to-let investors and the scrapping of stamp-duty for first time buyers (but only for property less than £300,000). It’s been a crazy year! Yet, you shouldn’t lose confidence in your investments, and certainly not on property in Surrey.

At Barton Wyatt, we’re consistently seeing investors buying all over Surrey, from property in  Upper Longcross to Windlesham, and this hasn’t faltered despite the events of the year. Here’s everything you need to know about why Surrey is still a perfect place to invest your money in property.

Halt in Capital Property Investment
It’s true that the city of London has been hit slightly, with property investment slowing and less enthusiasm on the market to take property in the capital. There are a number of reasons for this, including rising property prices, cost of living and a dislike of the busy city life. But, with this outflow from London, many are moving to areas that are far enough out of the city to not be impacted by the high prices but close enough to make a commute bearable. One of those spots is Surrey.

An Increase in Demand
This flood of city dwellers escaping to the welcome tranquility of Surrey hasn’t gone unnoticed on the property market. In fact, in just 10 years, most areas have seen a base increase of over 30% on all categories of properties. Flats in Tandridge have increased a huge amount, rising 56.8% in price since 2007.

This steady increase in house prices is set to continue. It does make sense, as prices continue to rise in the city (both property and living costs) and it becomes a less desirable place to live, Surrey’s popularity ever-increases. This means that, if you buy property as an investment now in such a hot-spot, you can be pretty certain that the price of that property will increase over-time at a good rate.

Worrying Over Nothing
Everything we spoke of at the very beginning of the article, such as Brexit and tax-relief cuts, seems to have worried people for no reason. In fact, despite the apparent bleak outlook, the reality of the UK’s property market is very different. House prices have seen an inflation of over 6% in the most recent Hometrack report, in spite of Brexit and all that happened after. So, any doubts you may have about these things have no evidence to back them up – it’s quite the opposite!


If you’ve realized what a great investment Surrey is right now, whether you look to buy property near Upper Longcross, Virginia Water or anywhere in our beautiful county, get in touch with us at Barton Wyatt. We’re experts in the Surrey property market and can help you with finding the right property for your money and offering any advice you may need. We’re always happy to help!
