The number of private properties being built in London is at a record low. Just 568 were started between February and last month - less than a quarter of the number built in the same period last year, according to the National House Building Council. There has also been a slump in social housing. Between February and April, just 795 homes were started by housing associations - sharply down from 2,443 last year. 2009-05-26
Supermarket heiress Jessica Sainsbury accepted £10.25m for her arts and crafts-style pad in Chelsea's Glebe Place. The five-bed pied-à-terre was too small for her and her three children.

Victoria, 35, has been trying to sell her Chelsea home since September, when a buyer pulled out hours before completion.
Victoria bought it for £1.8m in 2006 — it's now on sale for a bargain £2.6m.
Perhaps Victoria would have had more success if she'd used londonwhere.com Property & Lettings pages, which enables you to advertise your property without an estate agent for £5.95 a month. You can also create a website for your property and feed the details through to property and social networking sites.
A survey by estate agents shows that demand from abroad for property in London has increased 35 per cent in the last year. And 52 per cent of the increase has come from the Middle East, thanks to the strength of the dirham to the pound. As a result, beleaguered UK estate agents are setting up shop in the Gulf — Chesterton Humberts opened a shop in Abu Dhabi last month.
