not matter, since many foreign-owned London flats are allegedly empty most

I know it is one of those things that "everyone knows", but has anyone
ever looked into to the extent of this? Are there huge numbers of flats
which could lower general property prices/reduce commuting/house the
homeless/facilitate more immigration (delete accoording to taste), or it
it one of those things which someone once suggested and it just stuck?


2017, so it may be out of date, and it’s the Guardian so some of our
residents here may discount it, and occupancy is mentioned in pasing,
though with a reference to an earlier report, but it does say: many London
properties are foreign owned; some of them are rarely occupied.


I would certainly be suspicious of a Guardian article if it didn't cite
verifiable sources for something like that; "many" and "some" offer a
lot of opportunities for creative handwaving.


Sorry, missing link. You may or may not be able to follow up the
references given in the text.
