Housebuilding by private firms drops 15% by in London

Private developers started building 23,130 homes in London in 2018 – a decrease of 15% on the year before. The figures, part of a report released by data analysts from Molior London, show the lowest level of new builds starting since 2013. “London has never recently been further away from building the number of homes it needs,” the report said.
