>Empty

Yes now there are two of us qweryty

But officially filled, next

Tax it

Incrementally increase tax as a percentage of the property value, based on how long it has been empty

Besides which, punative taxes on empty homes doesn't affect the middle classes, you gimp

Oh not it wouldn't be empty

It would be my office

Want to sit in 10 empty houses? Fine, pay up.

But I'd never go there

You know what. I like this tax idea @Eccles

I'll give you that.

to be honest pie, we probably don't even need more tax on the rich, just less loop holes, but it's basically the same thing

I'd give councils the options to compulsory purchase if empty for 5 years, Nathan

Make it 4

Ya that is true qwerty

With my tax plan on top

Deal.

That’s why remaining in a large area which is stamping down on loop holes

And tax evasion

Perfectly reasonable given that they don't own the land the property is on

Is a good thing 🙂

Nuking London is always a solution

You can't treat residential property like other personal property because there isn't a free market for it

Decrease the value of Property as investments

PeP, you guys screwed the pooch on the EU when you turned it into a federal superstate project

Now hold your tongue

So you want to eliminate the property investment scene essentially.

No, just use the property

Easy.

I would, Joshu, but a tax on empty residential property isn't that, chief

You want to eliminate property

What?

I dont see the problem with people owning empty properties... its not like their arent enough

You can use it

There aren't enough

there is currently an "oversupply"

For investment

That is using it

@PureEvilPie as someone incapable of work do to mental issues saying that people should pay more tax can be seen as a bit self serving, but I'd like to think I'd stick to my principals even if I had a job.

That's odd, there's an oversupply, but despite there being an oversupply, homes are unaffordable, and more than 2million people are homeless or inadequately housed
