    looks like a repeat of a conversation to me???
    It is nice to see the value of your house going up'' Why ?
    Unless you are planning to sell up and not live anywhere, I can;t see the advantage.
    If you are planning to upsize the new house will cost more.
    If you are planning to downsize your new house will cost more than it should
    If you are trying to buy your first house its almost impossible.

    Re-reading I think you are correct - hopefully just a case of me being over-sensitive.

    Heavily tax capital gains on second homes and charge 2X council tax for second homes.

    Simples!

    I see....

    More nannyism and increased Government interference in our already over-governed (and over-taxed) country.

    I thought so........

    BTW, that still wouldn't stop the very wealthy from owning more than one property.
