[LONDON]  For anyone with one eye on a sweet penthouse in London, every day is like Black Friday.

Prices for some jewels of London real estate are falling fast, with more coming on the market even as fears of a market crash and uncertainty weigh on demand. Purchasers are asking for reductions of 15 per cent or more when they bid for homes, and penthouses are no exception, according to Hannah Taylor, an assistant sales manager at broker MyLondonHome.

Here are five penthouses in the city that have had their asking prices cut by at least 20 per cent:

This five-bedroom home on the 49th floor of the Aykon London One tower near Vauxhall station is now being offered for 11 million pounds (S$19.2 million), compared with its original asking price of 13.8 million pounds. With interiors designed by Versace Home, the building includes roof gardens and a gymnasium, an indoor swimming pool, cinema room and dedicated children's area with panoramic city views.
