Restrictions would limit the ability of non-citizens to buy homes, aiming to keep housing prices affordable for local residents. Proponents argue that it helps maintain affordable housing for locals and prevents property speculation. Opponents argue that it deters foreign investment and can negatively impact the housing market.

I think it's a tricky question. Indeed, there are inevitable consequences in regard of the accessibilty of purchase of residential properties for the citizens as well as for national residents.
@9TTC3KG5mos5MO
Yes, completely ban the ability to purchase homes for people who do not live in the country, except for those who want to live here when they buy it.
@9S7WCBR6mos6MO
No, land value tax and deregulation of housing construction will disincentivise property speculation
@9QRJ37X8mos8MO
There shouldn’t be restrictions on who can purchase properties as long as there is enough affordable housing for everybody who is a UK resident and there should be rent control on foreign investors who are purely buying properties in UK to be unfair landlords
@9QRBSRL8mos8MO
Yes, with regulations to stipulate that a manager of the property must be available to contact by the resident.
@9QP7FCZ8mos8MO
Non UK Nationals should pay a substantial levy, (eg 10% of the sale value) for property/land purchases, with the proceeds going towards Government managed housing
@9QLQ7PD 8mos8MO
No just make housing actually affordable as the majority of people buying to let are buying unaffordable homes to the average person anyway so make the housing actually affordable.
@9QLMP358mos8MO
Depends on the sale/ rent of the properties... if cheaper than UK investors then no restriction, if more expensive then yes there should be some restrictions,
