There is no housing crisis. We have the houses. We have an extreme land and property hoarding issue. Tax the pricks to bits and CPO if vacant after a period of time. Ban oversea holiday homes in certain areas too
That’s scandalous. 100,000 is nearly half our housing deficit. And that’s not counting unlisted ones or retail or other business properties that might be suitable for residential conversion. Tax the bollix out of them and they wouldn’t be long selling or renovating them.
Time to permit Dutch-style squat laws – leave it vacant for 12 months with no plan to renovate or sell in the next 12 months, its open to seizure by anyone
No political will to solve the housing crisis. Vacant and derelict houses all over my town. One right next door – has been left to rot for over 20 years. We should introduce the 1 euro/pound house scheme that was brought in in parts of Europe and Uk. It obviously won’t happen but it would revitalise areas and give people chance
i Will say again and again..
the housing crisis is artificially made.
there are tons of empty spaces but people decided to have them closed and empty for various reasons, all of them self centered or selfish.
i walk around my town and see tons of empty floors in the 2-3 floor buildings.
No doubt fair deal scheme houses are part of this. Why would any of them want to become landlords due to government policy/ scheme. And it’s up to the people in nursing homes to sell not their kids.
