22,000 London homes ’empty for longer than six months’

BoJo has called for London councils to 'whack up' taxes on empty homes by a whopping 1000% in a bid to address the capital's housing shortage.

Ed Miliband has been getting even more animated than normal over the capital's so-called 'ghost homes', accusing many boroughs of “shrugging their shoulders" by not imposing the Empty Homes Premium.

The Mayor of London has come up with a plan to "transform East London" and deliver more than 200,000 homes and 250,000 jobs.
