Labour Party

Agree

Yes

The Labour Party has historically focused on policies that aim to increase the affordability and availability of housing for UK residents. They have expressed concerns about the impact of foreign investment on housing prices and availability, particularly in high-demand areas. For example, during the 2019 general election, the Labour Party proposed policies to give local people 'first dibs' on new homes in their area and has criticized the government for allowing foreign investors to buy up properties, particularly new builds, which they argue exacerbates the housing crisis. While their policies have not explicitly called for outright restrictions on all foreign property purchases, their stance on prioritizing housing for UK residents over foreign investors suggests a moderate agreement with the idea of restricting foreign investment in residential properties.

Disagree

No

Given the Labour Party's commitment to addressing the housing crisis and making homes more affordable for UK residents, they are less likely to strongly agree with a policy that does not restrict the purchase of residential properties by foreign investors. Their policy proposals and criticisms of current housing policies under Conservative governments suggest a preference for measures that could include restrictions on foreign investors to ensure that housing stock benefits UK residents first and foremost. While the party recognizes the need for foreign investment in the broader economy, their focus on housing affordability and availability for locals implies a disagreement with a laissez-faire approach to foreign investment in residential properties.
