The Mayor's plea to the Government comes as a City Hall analysis revealed London's empty homes have a total estimated value of more than 20 billion.Mr Khan believes higher financial penalties would help deter the world's super-rich from buying up the capital's properties and leaving them vacant.The Mayor was joined in his call by Westminster City Council leader Adam Hug, who warned of a property market with stratospheric prices, caused in part by homes bought simply as investments rather than to live in.
