Arnav Gupta, an Indian tech professional based in London, recently shared a photo of a large house in Wembley priced at around £0.5 million (approximately ₹5-6 crore), prompting discussions on social media about the stark contrast between property prices in the UK and India. The house features a spacious layout, a backyard, and is less than 30 minutes from central London. Gupta's post highlighted how Indian buyers often pay more for less space, especially in metropolitan areas like Mumbai, Delhi NCR, and Bengaluru. Users on social media pointed out factors such as high demand, limited land supply, and regulatory challenges as reasons for steep property rates in India. Some participants expressed concerns about the sustainability of these prices, suggesting that the Indian real estate market is a bubble that may see prices decline by 15-20% due to potential economic shocks. Gupta clarified that he has no stake in the property, merely sharing his observations from the neighborhood.
