Let's assume for the sake of the argument that Corbyn could produce the money for this fanciful idea and take into public ownership 8000 houses for the homeless - if I was one of the many 1000s of people/families who have been patiently sitting on the council house waiting list, I'd be mightily peeved about Corbyn's largesse.

Empty properties are liable for council tax, excepting for renovation, when time limits are imposed.

// Buyers will typically take out a £60,000 loan to be repaid over 15 years before then becoming the outright owner of the property.//

Indeed Tambo, but it gets a little bit serious when it gets to the point of wanting to throw yourself of a bridge as I did a few months ago...

"Every sixth month an empty property should incur a hike in council tax."

Sad to see folk supporting legalised theft by authorities.
Councils that contemplate that are beneath contempt.

Perhaps we should demand from anyone that doesn't use their car a £500 charge per day ? Same principle. Or £50 an hour if they've not used their garden path ?

Who is doing that?

You asked for a link Talbot, whats the problem?

-Talbot-

I haven't got a problem but you seemed insistent that I replied to your post @ 20:27 Sun 28th
so I did.

Why do you often think there is a problem?

nailit

insistent Talbot? Merely asked.

Could be something to do with the fact that I may sleeping under a car park again soon.
