London's best boroughs: capitalise on Christmas slowdown

20th November 2015

The average asking price for a London home has fallen £10,184 over the last month, or 1.6%, largely because sellers are keen to get sales wrapped up before Christmas. The property website also notes that this is an annual trend, with five out of the last six Novembers seeing price falls. With annual growth of 20%, Newham is the fastest-rising borough, while Barking and Dagenham is second. Waltham Forest - home to Leyton, Chingford and Walthamstow - is also on the up, possibly recording growth of 20% over the next five years.
