為換大房子 倫敦人掀起賣房風(fēng)

A record proportion of London homeowners are selling up to buy cheaper property in the north and Midlands, using profits made in the capital to splurge on bigger homes.

創(chuàng)紀(jì)錄比例的倫敦房主正在變賣房屋，以購買北部和中部地區(qū)更便宜的房產(chǎn)，利用在首都住房所獲利潤(rùn)買入更大的房屋。

Research by agents Hamptons International found the proportion of Londoners leaving the capital for northern England or the Midlands had tripled since 2010.

房產(chǎn)經(jīng)紀(jì)機(jī)構(gòu)漢普頓斯國際進(jìn)行的研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，自2010年以來，離開首都、前往英格蘭北部或中部的倫敦人的比例已翻了3倍。

The average Londoner quitting the capital pays 424,610 pounds for their new property, enough to buy a large detached house in a good suburb of Birmingham but which only pays for a two-bed flat above a shop in east London.

離開倫敦的人平均花費(fèi)42.46萬英鎊新置房產(chǎn)，這筆錢足夠在伯明翰環(huán)境不錯(cuò)的郊區(qū)買一套獨(dú)棟住宅。但是同樣是這筆錢在倫敦東部只能買一套兩居室公寓。

Aneisha Beveridge, research analyst at Hamptons, said: "With affordability stretched, more Londoners are moving out of the capital to find their new home."

漢普頓斯研究分析師阿尼莎·貝弗里奇稱：“隨著房產(chǎn)負(fù)擔(dān)能力的減弱，更多倫敦人搬出首都，去尋找他們的新家。”

Many London leavers were looking for a bigger home or better local schools. Beveridge added that hefty stamp duty charges were also pushing second-movers out of the capital.

許多離開倫敦的人是為了尋找更大的住所或當(dāng)?shù)馗玫膶W(xué)校。貝弗里奇還表示，高額的印花稅費(fèi)正促使后進(jìn)離開者搬離倫敦。

"More people are making a bigger move and buying a larger home sooner to avoid having to pay stamp duty on additional moves as they trade up. For many, this means heading further north."

“越來越多的人開始采取更大的行動(dòng)，提前購買更大的房子，以避免在交易過程中額外支付印花稅。對(duì)很多人來說，這意味著往北搬家。”

Hamptons said 30,280 Londoners sold their homes in the first half of 2018 to move out of the capital, a rise of 16% over the same period last year.

漢普頓斯稱，2018年上半年有30280名倫敦人賣掉他們的住房，搬出倫敦，同比增加16%。
