Agree

No

The Conservative party generally supports lower taxes and has not implemented a mansion tax in the past. They have been more focused on reducing taxes for the majority of taxpayers, as seen in their 2019 manifesto where they promised to cut taxes for working families.

Slightly agree

No, but implement the tax on foreign owned property

While the Conservative party has not specifically advocated for a tax on foreign-owned property, they have shown concern about foreign investment in the UK property market. In 2018, they proposed a 1% stamp duty surcharge on non-residents buying property in England and Northern Ireland. This suggests they may be more open to this idea than a general mansion tax.
