New Flats in Clapton Ideal for First Time Buyers Flats in Clapton, among other parts of the London Borough of Hackney, are perfect for people seeking to escape the hustle and bustle of Prime Central London, but remain within close proximity to the City, if the recent Clapton flat and house market trend is anything to go by. New build property developments featuring houses and flats in Clapton and other parts of Hackney are proving highly popular with people buying houses and flats. Clapton, like much of Hackney and the wider parts of East London, has seen a real gentrification in recent years, thanks partly to the area’s successful bid to host the Olympic Games in 2012.

There are excellent transport connections with further improvements from the North & East London Line extensions. Kings Cross is accessible in 10 minutes.

According to property portfolio management service the Young Group, a staggering nine out of 10 buyto let landlords in the capital believe the value of homes in the city will increase over the course of the next year or hold steady for the remainder of 2010. Property values in Hackney, and particularly prices of houses and flats in Clapton are tipped to rise, due to the construction of the Olympic Village on the other side of the Lea Valley.
