London bucks national construction growth trend

The Rics quarterly poll of surveyors has indicated that construction growth in the second quarter of 2018 virtually matched that of the previous two quarters in London, despite evidence of constraints in finance and labour. Eleven per cent more chartered surveyors in London and the south east reported that their workloads had risen rather than fallen. Financial constraints, such as the difficulty of obtaining credit, were reported by 80% of national respondents to be the most significant impediment to building activity.
