Buy-to-let investors spending less in London

Landlords are abandoning London in droves, spending billions less on property purchases than they were three years ago which in turn is leaving tenants facing a possible shortage of homes and rising rents. British buy-to-let investors spent £12.1bn on property purchases in the first half of this year - £5.2bn less than in the first half of 2015, according to statistics from HM Revenue & Customs.
