Landsec, one of the UK’s largest listed real estate companies, is increasing its focus on London after a year that saw its losses widen and property values fall.

The FTSE 100 company made a loss before tax in the year to March 31 of £123m, according to annual results published on May 14. This was almost triple the £43m Landsec lost in the previous 12 months.
