Asking prices in London have been declining for the second month

In July sellers of real estate in London continued to cut prices due to an increased supply on the market which amounted to additional 15% year on year, according to ee24.com citing bloomberg.com.

The average price of property decreased by 0.4%, or almost by £3 thousand, amounting to £587,174 (€741,158). Markets in England and Wales as a whole behave similarly, housing prices there fell by 0.8%, for the first time since December.

Miles Shipside, director of Rightmove, says that this new trend indicates that some sellers ask more than buyers consider as affordable or fair price.
