Government outlines London’s short-term lettings shake-up

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.

"Incredibly and suddenly London’s skyline is coming of age", says JLL in a new survey of the resi structures due to change the face of the capital.
