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.

Yes, with carefully targeted regulations aimed at curbing speculative investment and ensuring that housing primarily serves as homes for residents, while remaining open to foreign individuals genuinely relocating to the country.
@B4ZN4L42wks2W
There should be no restrictions from a citizenship standpoint, but policies should be introduced to prevent the rich from buying properties and increasing rent
@B44HR6R2mos2MO
At the moment yes as there's a shortage of housing for citizens but if it's no longer a problem then yes they should be allowed
@9QRBSRL10mos10MO
Yes, with regulations to stipulate that a manager of the property must be available to contact by the resident.
@9QP7FCZ10mos10MO
Non UK Nationals should pay a substantial levy, (eg 10% of the sale value) for property/land purchases, with the proceeds going towards Government managed housing
@9QLQ7PD 10mos10MO
No just make housing actually affordable as the majority of people buying to let are buying unaffordable homes to the average person anyway so make the housing actually affordable.
@9QLMP3510mos10MO
Depends on the sale/ rent of the properties... if cheaper than UK investors then no restriction, if more expensive then yes there should be some restrictions,
@9QKWYWC10mos10MO
It depends, in the PRC there are a lot of excess homes and foreign investors allow those empty homes to make capital. if the UK was in a similar position I wouldn't see why not allow them to invest.
