That doesn't matter

The home is being used

Which is the aim of the policy

It's to force people to rent out, or sell their empty home

Such an easy policy to loophole around

Typically gov beaurocractic pointlessness

notice how the warnings of oversupply in london will cause price drops in the city back in 2015 ... and now the london prices are steady/dropping ... theyre blaming brexit 😛

no it's not though, I just list my place of residence as that house for a week, it's still not being used

Set a minimum occupancy period then

It must be used for X months per year

Before it is considered "occupied"

There, you can't just change it weekly.

if anything the oversupply should have caused a much bigger drop... seems like brexit is keeping properties buoyant

somehow

also, you do know people already pay tax for each house they own?

Yep

We're just going to increase the tax amount

Through that new tax

I have family

Force them to rent or sell it

They'll just live there for 6 months per year

Each one of them

That's fine

Well "Live there"

People are living in it

No no

"Live there"

Then you won't be able to prove that they do live in there..

Oh no they will

I think that'd be called tax fraud

They'll officially change residence

@Nathan James 123 you can't prove the don't

So they live in there

It's fine

But visits their normal place

Of course

Visit for most of time

In council houses they can prompt investigations into that system and kick you out

You're coming up with some awefully comlex and non-practical ways to beat this

So in reality, they won't happen

Yeah for council houses
