Maybe it’s time to regulate the property market through taxation, to make sure people other than landlords can buy houses.
If you buy a second home, 50% inheritance tax, if you buy a third 75%. Director’s liability too.

Thing is, Wales made rules about second homes. But what about people who’ve bought these as investments as a first property? Or “technical first property,” say the kids of landlords, for example. Is anyone even looking past the end of this year anymore?

And we shouldn’t have to be obliged to Barrat Box death either. You can build amazing timber framed lodges from sustainable timber for very little and live effectively with your own plot.
