Slightly agree

No, but implement the tax on foreign owned property

While UKIP has been critical of certain aspects of foreign ownership and investment in the UK, particularly in the context of EU membership and immigration, their policy focus has not prominently featured targeted taxes on foreign-owned property. However, given their stance on protecting British interests, they might be somewhat open to this idea as a measure to control foreign investment in the housing market, albeit with some reservations.
