It is an awful idea and those who are signing it are doing it from an entirely selfish perspective, they are saying "I want to contribute less to society and I want more for myself". Considering that most people are already a net cost to the state, swinging that balance even further towards totally broken is a truly awful idea.woollyjumper said:

Another vote for not a good idea, as it’s regressive and likely to further distort the property market CM3

I see it working only if the Government is putting a charge of 32% on that property, something similar with HTB loan.MattMattMattUK said:
