More than 5% of residential properties in some inner
London boroughs are considered empty or second homes for council tax purposes,
Inside Housing research has found. Despite decreases recently, more than 66,000
properties across 22 London boroughs remain empty, and more than a quarter of
the 6,500 homes in the City of London are not in permanent use. Westminster,
Camden and Tower Hamlets all have more than one in 20 homes classified as empty
or second, while even some outer London boroughs, including Redbridge and
Hounslow, have more than 2.5%. The 66,000 empty homes is a decrease from 75,000
in the same boroughs in 2010. Read more on Inside Housing.
