Guest makapaka Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Define 'right' in that context. And please explain the origin of any 'right' to own a pre-determined quantity of housing. Why? Do you not understand the point I'm trying to make? That some people own 0 houses and some people own 20/2/200/2000? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey Shaw Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Yes, but you've not actually answered my questions. Can you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But nobody has any real clue how to remedy it by lawful means. if buy to let was stopped the housing market would be flooded with cheaper properties.

Guest makapaka Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Yes, but you've not actually answered my questions. Can you? Well no - because I haven't argued there should be a right to own a pre-determined amount of housing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calahonda Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 homes under the hammer glorifys the greed of these leaches Yes, the rotten sods risk their own money to buy and renovate property, rent it out at a fair market price and take the risk of bad tenants, in order to provide for their retirement. Far better to be a well pensioned public sector worker who opts for early enhanced retirement benefits. The mind boggles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truman Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 homes under the hammer glorifys the greed of these leaches What about the ones who buy almost derelict properties and bring them back onto the market? are they "leaches" (sic) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
