    Rise in foreign landlords is 'crowding out first-time buyers’ - Telegraph


    I wondered if this might happen, especially with a weak pound and good tax breaks on property.

    Not only will all the utilities be foreign owned but the majority of our housing and land.

    It's more to do with the high yields now on offer, especially in London.
    If you can get 6.5% that's better than most other investments.
    I wouldn't worry about them being foreigners, when there's better places to invest they'll move on.
    Hard Brexit now!

      Its time to introduce a tax on rich foreigners buying up property in UK. Rich oil sheiks from Gulf are really distorting the prices of property in London.
      Vote Corbyn ! Save this country !

        rents have been dropping recently in Central and West London. Nowt to do with yields. just chasing existing gains and inflating the bubble.

        Why just foreigners? Why not tax on property over £500k?

            So you want to tax the middle class even more? A £500k property is about average in London.

              How do you know what will happen in 6 months? What has happened in central London could spread. Or it may not.

              I am concerned that alot of rich people seem to pay little tax. Property is easier to tax.

                It'd be better to fix the system, not ignore people avoiding tax and add new taxes on top.

                  Stamp duty is a tax in some sense. So why more on top of that ?

                    Agreed. I propose something on top. Effectively a form of income tax. But I believe it will be fairer as harder to avoid.
