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, Freedom of
Information Act requests have revealed. The 66,000 empty homes is a decrease
from 75,000 in the same boroughs in 2010. The figure has fallen steadily each
year, while the number of second homes has remained broadly constant. Read more
