Guy Meacock: London is really hitting its stride now
The capital has played second fiddle to the country market over the last year - but is now showing the sort of resilience that surprised us all post-GFC.
Guy joined Prime Purchase in 2005 and quickly established himself as one of the foremost authorities on the prime central London market.
