Despite uncertainty around Britain's decision to leave the European Union, residential property prices in Britain will increase by 2% next year, a Reuters poll of analysts has revealed.

Looking further ahead to 2018, views among the poll of 25 economists, estate agents and brokers are that prices will increase at a slightly faster pace of 2.7%.
