THE fizz has gone out of the London real estate bubble and the property industry is calling for a reduction in stamp duties to lift activity and prices.
According to LonRes, a property data company, Savills, Knight Frank and other agents, prime London residential transactions have slumped and on average prices are down by 5 to 10 per cent in the past twelve months and by 10 to 15 per cent since the market peaked. Some of the very high priced properties of £5 million (S$8.76 million) or more have fallen by an even greater percentage from peak 2014 valuations, according to anecdotal reports of sellers and agents.
