According to one survey flat prices are now outpacing the overall property market in five London boroughs; including Barking & Dagenham, Greenwich and Hackney.

Meanwhile, Rightmove says it’s seen a complete reversal in demand from bigger houses to flats since the second half of last year.

The Evening Standard’s Associate Editor Jonathan Prynn, and Homes and Property Editor Prudence Ivey discuss this sudden rise in demand for flats, and what it means for the capital.
