The number of house sales has plummeted in the last three months, with estate agents in London failing to sell even one property a week, according to a survey.

The number of companies intending to recruit more staff this year has fallen to a 16-year low, according to a new survey.
The Manpower report found eight in ten companies are planning to keep staffing levels the same this quarter, with 7pc forecasting an increase in staff and 8pc predicting a reduction.
Most of the 2,100 UK employers said they have reined in their intentions to hire more staff since this time last year, in the weakest fourth quarter for recruitment since 1992.

There was "no doubt that the mood has darkened in the last two or three months," its director general Richard Lambert warned members in a letter.
