Housing activity is set to rise following the World Cup.
Your Move has analysed property transactions completed during and after previous World Cups, and HMRC figures studied show transactions to have increased by around 8% following the final – compared with those in the first month of the tournament.
In the month following the 2006 World Cup property transactions rose 10 per cent, from 60,000 per month in June to 176,000 in August.
David Newnes, owner of Your Move, maintains that when football fever grips the nation, many would-be buyers are instead glued to their TV screens: "Historically, a flurry of buyers hit the streets in the month after the tournament. That doesn’t mean the housing market recovery is set to stall in the short-term during the competition.
"We don’t expect the World Cup to interrupt the recovery of housing sector but we can expect an upsurge once it’s over.”
In the meantime here are five of the best venues in Chiswick to watch the footie.
