The report wasn't cited directly in the text, but a bit of googling key
terms and I think this is it:

Thank you.

“Conclusion
The estimates show that the propensity to leave homes empty
or under-used in some way is greater among properties of higher values, in
prime areas of London and among overseas investors. These sales represent a
smaller portion of London’s new build housing market, so in absolute terms
UK and overseas owners hold similar numbers of homes that are under-used or
under-occupied.”
