RICS sees an overall fall in prices for the first time since July 2009, as buyers sit tight and vendors gather. On its own, the report isn't enough to have anyone reaching for the tin hat (believe it or not, RICS questioned just 242 member-estate agents), but the finding are in keeping with other indices. For the record, 28% more surveyors expected falls, over price rises, in the coming months.
