London is the hub, with 47,000 overseas-owned residential properties – 45% of the total and 81% by value.\n> Zooming in, 50% of the total value lies in just two of the 318 local authorities in England and Wales: Westminster (34%) and Kensington and Chelsea (16%). Rutland Gate is in the former, very close to the border with the latter.",
