It is incredibly expensive to downsize. We are empty nesters and live in a 5 Bedroom house. If we want to downsize to 3 bedrooms almost all the equity that we have in this property disappears in moving costs, solicitors fees, stamp duty, redecoration costs, etc.etc. It is therefore better to stay here and save it for our children to benefit when we expire rather than giving all these middlemen and chancers part of their inheritance.

[@user-sx3pc4dj3r]

Same reason my mum stays in her 4 bed. Downsizing costs too much.

[@TheRahsoft]

its the stamp duty that is the major issue. if the govt was so keen, then they would make a special abolition of stamp duty for over 65s who downsize( subject to criteria). plus your kids should be given the choice to live in your home from inheritance or sell to fund where they want to live

[@ChrisAndCats]

You can also argue that you then leave it to your kids so they can use it for their families when the time comes. That would free them up from buying another one, which would then leave that property they would have bought in the property chain, thus creating the extra home this guy seems to want. Not everybody wants to live in s flat, surrounded by loads of other people, instead of in peace in their own home. This guy is an idiot. No way am I trading my 2 bed rural semi that I've worked all my life to pay for, with a view down to the sea for some grotty flat with no garden, surrounded by who knows who. Edited to add. Cameron's bedroom tax is why I stopped voting and abstained from there on. The method of application penalised the wrong people.

trespassing is a civil matter. Many abandoned buildings have already had windows smashed from feral youths with nothing better to do. Entering through an already broken window is not breaking and entering. It's simply an act of entering. You aren't necessarily trespassing unless you have been asked to leave by the building owner but refuse to leave but it would still be a civil matter until such a point it becomes aggravated trespass which is a criminal matter.

England is a joke, now. And people saying it's OK take over a business, a property, or anything else that is not owned by them is ridiculous. Michael, let's see what you say when they do this to you. Things have changed a lot in the last 70 years.

Most young people I know do to work a full week and even wrangle working from home. This will get our country nowhere. AS for older people making way for the young. The young need to pull their socks up first. If you work hard and achieve something good in life why do you have to give it up for the 'giveme' generation. To tax old people to get them to move is sick, and whoever said that should be ashamed on themselves. They will be old one day. Just because you are old doesn't mean that you should classed as a second class citizen. Many elderly I know will jump over the heads of these youngsters. Do something about the youngsters please! Shape them up!!!!!!

This is not a socialist idea, both labour and tory know the biggest power the people have is in the land they own. Two old council houses could eb turned into ten flats. Both tory and labour want to price us out of owning property.

[@undesignated3491]

Land Reform. 95 Percent of people in Laos are land or home owners. Look it up. In UK home ownership includes leasehold and property share. So when government tells you over 60 percent own their own home, the percentage falls drastically when the question is changed to OUTRIGHT OWNERSHIP, it barely exists !

[@phoebegreig6523]

A better law would to be to tax those who own empty properties a higher rate so it would FORCE them to fill them. There are places in the countryside that are literal ghost towns because those in cities own them.

[@simanothername3035]

Kick MPs out of their second homes and provide dormitories for parliamentary use before you kick anyone out of their only property. They will tax everyone out of their homes. It will of course be an eco-tax, as part of Net zero you will have to comply with a set of rules that cost half the value of the property or sell it to someone who can. The housing crisis is very strange, considering we managed to build over a million homes in 1948 but can't manage a tenth of that now? Could it be that there is no political will to not inflate house prices while importing cheap labour? Would sorting out the corruption and money laundering in the UK property market expose too many party donors or foreign companies buying up the country piecemeal, so we cannot own our own homes. As for single occupancy of houses, do you think that those who bought and paid off their homes never have their children and grandchildren visit? There is always a smug socialist prepared to dispose of other people's wealth, and the fading dream for most is a job where they can earn enough to buy a home to raise a family. Forget holidays let's face it, you won't get a cheap hotel at the seaside any more, those are not for you.

[@LittlePhizDorrit]

His squatter defense is horrific on so many fronts. Firstly, why would a man from ENGLAND quote a centuries old tradition from the AMERICAN frontier west to make his argument? (a "tradition" btw that was long since outlawed since it encouraged criminals to burn people out of their homes so they could take their land) Furthermore, the idea that people can't own property if they aren't actively using it is absurd. What if someone is in hospital for a long time because of a long term disease or severe accident? What if a soldier is stationed abroad and doesn't want to sell his home, can someone just grab it? How long is "a long time"? 6 months? 1 year? Can a man spend 5 years working in Thailand for his international company, only returning home once or twice a year, and lose his house? If squatters have rights, what are their responsibilities? If a squatter grabs someone's house, does he have to pay for taxes, fees or maintenance? And my guess is this guy doesn't own a house, or he'd NEVER have this belief.

So some bint drops 7 kids, granny Smith gets forced out of her house because of a tax so then for said bint can use her extra rooms. The extra tax is then payed by us the tax payer lol.

If you own your own home they can't do this, but if you're renting council property then they could make you rent out a room!, it was stated that if you have less occupancy than bedrooms in your house ie 2people and 3 bedrooms then you could rent a room out!, how this would fare I don't know as if you're already renting off the council then you will be subletting, against the law.
