London house price rise 'slowed to lowest rate' in July
London house prices slowed to their lowest rate last month, making July the weakest growth in the capital's property market in 18 months, experts said.
Momentum slowed to just 0.1% month-on-month, property analysts Hometrack found.
The rise in house prices "slowed dramatically" with just 12% of London postcodes registering price gains in July and a further 11% reporting a drop.
Hometrack said this marked the first time in four years that London has had a smaller proportion of markets registering price gains than regions across England and Wales.
