LONDON, April 8, 2025 — Hyde Park Properties is dedicated to creating a distinctive collection of premium, single-family residences in the most sought-after areas of London, particularly those surrounding Hyde Park. Since its initial acquisition in May 2024, the portfolio has expanded to include 22 houses, with plans to reach 30 houses by June through additional acquisitions already in the pipeline.

Europi identified this strategy in the spring of 2024, noting that prime central London property prices had been adversely affected by several external factors, including Brexit, the COVID-19 pandemic, increased mortgage rates, and tax policy uncertainties introduced by the new Labour government. This situation presented a chance to invest in this supply-constrained market at an appealing entry point, with real-term prices comparable to those of 2010-2013.  

Hyde Park Properties aims to acquire unmodernized, unique freehold houses located on the attractive mews streets and terraces of Kensington and Westminster. The portfolio also benefits from its close proximity to the large green areas of Hyde Park, Kensington Gardens, and Holland Park, along with London’s world-class cultural attractions. Value is added mainly through refurbishment projects that modernize the houses with efficient layouts while preserving or enhancing their original features and historical charm. After refurbishment, the properties are leased to tenants, primarily under long-term agreements, although some shorter-term leases are also available occasionally. An experienced in-house team manages the portfolio, ensuring excellent service for tenants and a commitment to providing a high-quality product.  

Arthur Cole-Fontayn, Investment Director at Hyde Park Properties, stated:

“We are pleased to announce the launch of Hyde Park Properties, after being active in the market for almost a year. Pricing remains historically favorable, and we anticipate expanding the portfolio throughout 2025 and beyond.”

Jonathan Willén, CEO of Europi Property Group, commented:

“London continues to grow steadily, appealing to a global audience with its unique offerings. We are thrilled about the opportunity to acquire freehold houses in prime locations and establish a long-term residential business around them. We believe we can reach 100 houses within one or two years, and we have strong confidence in the fundamental strength of prime central London.”
