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.
@9QJDYQR 7mos7MO
No, as long as the properties are kept to a high standard. However, it should be easier for UK citizens to buy properties.
@9QJ3S5F7mos7MO
they should be able to buy a property only if they have a stable income and are not living off of benefits
@9QHMH9D7mos7MO
Uk should have first consideration with a reasonable price set which if obtainable should be given to uk without foreign investors overbidding
@9QD2CPW7mos7MO
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.
@9Q7XG4H7mos7MO
Yes most definitely. They should also tax properties over a certain value and stop the mega rich from leaving huge properties empty.
@9PFK8JF8mos8MO
No, but there should be restrictions and they should be allowed to make profits at the expense of local citizens
@9TTC3KG4mos4MO
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.
