London house prices have fallen for the second month running and at the fastest rate in almost nine years as the five-year boom in the capital deflates.
Prices in London fell by 0.7% for the year to March after a revised 0.1% decline in February.
This was the sharpest year-on-year fall since September 2009, when prices were contracting by 3.2%, and comes as prices in the rest of the country race ahead.
