quarter falling by 7 per cent from a year earlier and prices declining in
almost two-thirds of the capital's boroughs. The housing market is weakening
after a three-decade boom amid slower economic growth, uncertainty created by
Brexit and inflation outpacing wage growth over much of the past year. Read
