No, as long as the properties are kept to a high standard. However, it should be easier for UK citizens to buy properties.
@9QJ3S5F5mos5MO
they should be able to buy a property only if they have a stable income and are not living off of benefits
@9QHMH9D5mos5MO
Uk should have first consideration with a reasonable price set which if obtainable should be given to uk without foreign investors overbidding
@9QD2CPW5mos5MO
No, but hike taxation on foreign investment, or at least implement a bandwidth on rental prices in area set by the government based on their council tax band to ensure they aren't profiting unfairly or based on tenant exploitation.
@9Q7XG4H5mos5MO
Yes most definitely. They should also tax properties over a certain value and stop the mega rich from leaving huge properties empty.
@9PFK8JF5mos5MO
No, but there should be restrictions and they should be allowed to make profits at the expense of local citizens
@9TTC3KG2mos2MO
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.
@9S7WCBR3mos3MO
No, land value tax and deregulation of housing construction will disincentivise property speculation
