London property is worth more than Bristol, Birmingham, Glasgow, Manchester, and Edinburgh combined
Brief:London's property market is worth £1.5 trillion, representing 18% of the entire UK market. But growth is slowing — just 1.5% price growth over the last 12 months.
 
LONDON — London's property market is worth a total £1.5 trillion according to new figures from Zoopla — more than twice the value of the nine other most valuable property markets in the UK combined.
 
Zoopla's figures suggest that the value of London property is 13 times higher than that of its nearest rival, Bristol, which has a property market worth £115.2 billion. London represents just over 18% of the entire UK property market by value.
 
However, London property prices grew the slowest out of any of the top 10 hotspots last year, according to Zoopla's figures. House prices in the capital rose by just 1.54% over the last 12 months.
 
Zoopla's rival Rightmove said last week that London house prices have now moved out of their "boom" phase after nearly two decades of rapid price rises.
 
Lawrence Hall, a spokesperson for Zoopla, said in a statement: "It comes as no surprise that London is significantly more valuable as a residential property market than any other British city.
 
"However, the data does show that, in comparison to cities further north and across the Scottish border, the rate of growth in London has slowed. The capital may be worth almost 10 times more than Sheffield, but Britain’s Steel City wins in the growth rate stakes."
 
House prices in Sheffield grew by 5.63% last year according to Zoopla. Here's Zoopla's full table of the top 10 cities by property market worth:
