“In the outer prime London family neighbourhoods like Fulham and Clapham we’re definitely seeing increased competition, sealed bids, not enough supply and more buyers than there is available stock,” she said. “Part of the reason is people are moving less.

Others have owned their properties a long time and so they are willing to be pragmatic about price.”
