LREF 2017: Can property values in Old Street and Shoreditch be sustained?

Old Street and Shoreditch have seen significant increase in values for both commercial and residential property over the past five years, driven largely by the tech and creative sectors that have clustered around Old Street station and its proximity to key central London markets. Can these values be sustained? Will the rush to capitalise on the attractiveness of this location with new office development and high-end residential ruin the unique character of this area? Experts at LREF discuss the outlook for this area over the next few years.
