But in London, where the market slowdown has been particularly witnessed in central or “prime” areas, the turnover is much down by 20 percent over four years. Most of the sellers are coming to terms with the fact that there are fewer buyers on the ground, and today’s house hunters are remarkably making higher demands of vendors.
