London s residential property market is set to slowdown after the summer, following a buoyant market in 2006 so far, say Hamptons International.

As part of the companys mid-year property market prediction, Sara Graybow of Hamptons International said: "Post the summer break we may find that the number of properties coming to the market will rise, although not substantially. That, coupled with other economic pressures and the fact that the market has already risen between 10 and 20 percent so far this year, we will see a slowdown in sales numbers and unlikely further rises of properties coming to the market."
