Yeah yeah; I can already see what some of you are thinking: most people don’t have second homes. But that’s not the point. Instead of building more houses, take them away from those who have a spare house. How Trotsky/Marx is that? From the Conservatives!
A shit budget from an even shitter government.

Nobody wants to solve the housing crisis - it's the base upon which the whole pyramid scheme is built.

A spare house, with language as vulgar as that is it any wonder there is a housing crisis

House-building in the richer parts of the country seems to be costing the Conservative Party votes so only natural that they try and free up second homes for regular occupation. We voted in June 2016 not to return small boat immigrants to France, so they all need to live somewhere.

Well, Hugh, when the Council Tax rises from say, £3,000 pa to £6,000 a lot of people will have to sell due to unavailability.
A typical case may be a previous family home with nostalgic memories. The owners would split their time between homes but the legislation makes no allowance for this.
They are bustards for doing this. The bustards should have ensured more houses would have been built.

The most stupid comment you have ever made.
There is a housing crisis for one singular reason: The equally stupid government has not met its promises on house building. There are subsidiary reasons such as immigration but that is a different debate with huge depth of causes.

New definition of " a typical case" I hadn’t come across before…
Look on the bright side - more Government revenue on the CGT when they sell the second home.

Re: The budget
Pass on the second house to one of your off-springs and if you have a second off-spring, pass your third house to that one.. This way you solve the IHT problem too.
How do you pass on the first house? that's the real problem.

I don’t think that’s entirely accurate!

But if the house is unoccupied, it still gets caught by the 100% Council Tax uplift.

Why would they if it was not in a convenient location?
Didn't you think of that?

Re: The budget
If its not occupied, sell it.
Hanging onto an empty house you dont need is just nuts.

... unless there are memories one doesn't want to give up.
A past family home, etc.
