London's property market has always been an enigma and one 'optimistic' listing perhaps perfectly encapsulates this - for all the wrong reasons.
Although properties that would struggle to sell for £200,000 in other parts of the country are routinely snapped up for three times that in the capital.
Demand has exploded in areas of London's commuter belt - or on the outer verges of the capital itself in recent months, bucking the trend of the rest of the nation where prices have dipped.
The average UK home was worth £265,497 in April which was down 2.7 per cent on the previous month but up 3.5 per cent compared to the previous year.
Meanwhile the average London property was priced at £566,614 in April, following a rise of 2.6 per cent month-on-month, and a 3.3 per cent gain annually.
