The Market for London apartments has tailed off considerably, not because Irish buyers are no longer interested, but because London agents are so busy selling in their own market that they no longer need to chase the Irish buyers as they have done for the last two years. It also appears that Asian buyers have got over their currency woes and are back in the London market with a vengeance. Still, if you want to buy a little Christmas box, you could put your name on the list for one of the 16 new homes being developed in two Georgian-style buildings in one of London's older quarters, Cable Street, €1. Due for completion in December, Blue Gate Mews is being built in the shadow of a famous Hawksmoor church. It goes on sale this Saturday, with two-bedroom apartments costing from £160,000 sterling. The selling agent is Hadley Cooper Associates at 0044 171 363 1144.
