More than 160 properties worth £10m or more were sold in London in the financial year just finished – the most since 2016 when Brexit spooked the global super-rich from investing in the UK’s “super-prime” market.

A total of 161 such sales – or three a week – were made in the capital in the year to March, according to analysis of Land Registry data by the estate agent Knight Frank and the data provider LonRes.
