All of the things that would be needed to achieve the rectification of the housing market will never be done because too many people with access to the policy makers will be directly affected.
1) Its pointless talking about building homes when they automatically come on the market at the highest end of the price spectrum... some affordable stuff is built but its always a small shed in the corner.
2) Saying no house without an NI number is great but let me know who is going to conduct mass home invasions in some part of the country to throw all the non qualifying victims out.
3) for the residents of St Ives to be moaning about the fact that they priced their own kids out the market is ******* hypocrisy at its worse after all every single house that ended up as a second home was sold by a family that lived there at one point in time... if you don't want something and throw it away you can hardly complain if someone else likes it and finds value in it...
They are starting to talk a hard line on money laundering but when a £4million flat in Kensington is at stake its going to be worth paying some really good legal teams to keep the house... I'm not sure that the government will be up for that fight which is why there are still billions of pound in un-confiscated assets all over the world.
Last of all there are quite a few legally operated funds that have been buying homes for pension funds and other income streams. So even if this rhetoric shakes loads of houses onto the market as dictators flee with their cash, any slack in the market is going to be taken by the funds and if its in a crashing market then its even better as they get more assets cheaper.
either way you either buy a house for/with your kids or they will be ****ed and no amount of private education will help them...
