Asking prices for properties in central London and listed on Primelocation rose 0.94% in February and are up by over 3.24% year on year.
This is in contrast with anecdotal reports from central London agents who have told Estate Agent Today that actual sales prices are down by up to 25% over the last year.
The site also reports that asking prices for lettings fell in central London by 13.72% between February 2008 and February 2009. It blames a huge over-supply of rental properties, saying that available stock levels rose 97% in that time.
