R>After three and half years of price growth, prime London house prices are likely to see a period of little or no growth with prices reaching a plateau next year, it is claimed.

This slowdown comes on the back of high price rises since 2009, which have completely bucked the trend in the rest of the country and leave prime central London values 22% above their 2007 peak, according to the latest five year forecast from real estate providers Savills.
