London housing market to defy Brexit slump predictions

Despite warnings over the impact of political uncertainty and Brexit on the property market, new analysis predicts that London house prices will climb by 13% over the next five years. According to a new report by CBRE, "the attraction of London as a place to live and work is unlikely to abate”. It forecasts the capital's population will continue growing, from 8.9m last year to 10.05m by 2022 - a 12% increase set to power property sales.
