There isn't any "will" and that's from JLR but just 'could's' and 'perhaps' yet your favourite rag apart from Guido reports it as if it were definite and a future Brexit success story.

I make it that they and you are desperate for any good news even if that good news is, as it stands, hollow.

I don't agree that I need to pay extra tax on my second home. If people work hard and are successful, why should they pay more, we are already paying more than most.
I would suggest people at the lower end of the scale, look at working harder, rather than expect other people to give it to them.

Only problem is that you cannot promote that as fact.

I like the fact that you are chucking the Daily Mail 'love' at me. Desperate are you?

He did!!!

TUX.... if those people with second homes hadn't bothered to create/upgrade them from nothing or uninhabitable shells often, there would be even less housing stock.

Most people I know that own 2nd or more homes have worked hard to provide the capital to buy them in the first place then worked all hours of the day/night on them developing skills such as building/plumbing/electrics. And often tenants have fcuked off owing rent and causing damage to the property like one I know who tried to fiddle the gas meter and caused an explosion.

The way you tell it, it is a breeze to rock up to a property, buy it and rent it out.... if it were that easy more would be doing it.

Buying a property, particularly when you're not having to move yourself, is pretty much a breeze as spending money really isn't that hard.
And i agree, more would be doing it, but the banks decided to make things as difficult as possible for the majority of wannabe home-owners.

Brexit - the sweet you can eat between meals....

I've agreed that Hoof was out of his depth.

Yes, and savers who've earn't diddly for many years (unfortunately) have put their money into property. Couple this with a banking system demanding ridiculous deposits from first-time buyers and we have a new market, 'buy-to-let'.
I have no problem with this at all, but i do have a problem with those renting these properties paying (in full in many many instances) the mortgages of those who own the property.
I also remember ridiculously high interest rates as i bought my first house in the 80's. And yes, i also worked hard to stay afloat, we all did. But that was then and this is now. They're completely different scenarios.
I'm just glad that i'm not faced with what many face today. Working just as hard to pay (someone else's) mortgage while ALSO having to save for their own.

That's not just ''hard'', it's nigh on impossible.

The "impossible" aim of encouraging more young people to buy houses will never be achieved without Brexit.

Without Brexit, millions of immigrants will continue to pour into the UK creating a housing shortage and further sustained rise in house prices.

I bet you voted Remain too, but if you were serious about wanting to encourage more home ownership you would be anti-immigration surely?

That is the reality TUX.
