Property prices may well go down (although NY tends to bend that rule). The price of that particular apartment would have to fall like a block of concrete to make it less viable than paying for a hotel room for several years.
It's nice to see HMG are starting to think savvy, and it's long overdue.

Should make a nice profit when the time comes to sell it (I wonder if the FCO will have to pay CGT). Would you prefer it if he lived in a hotel for several years?

The Brexit gravy train in full swing. Brexiteer MP's have their eye on the post Brexit spoils in the Civil service and private hedge funds.
