Mortgage rates showed signs of softening as July inflation figures were revealed this week.

But we’re hardly out of the woods, with buying power continuing to be severely impacted by rising interest rates, a red-hot rental market and the ongoing cost-of-living crisis.

In London, sellers achieved 97.9 per cent of asking prices in July according to data by Hamptons — with discounts now around 4.5 per cent on average.

While more than 60 per cent of homes sold in the capital in July had a final sale price below their original asking price.

With price drops now par for the course, here are nine London homes currently for sale after reductions of a fifth or more.
