Should Corbyn set it at a rate designed merely to redistribute wealth or
should a more progressive level of taxation be applied to the robber baron
class’ hoardings, coupled with the introduction of rent control
legislation, in order to burst the massively over-inflated housing bubble
and collapse house prices back to nearer the true value of a pile of
bricks?

He’d do better to reform IHT.

Parents whose offspring have shown they are prepared to work etc, and have
actually established themselves- bought a property etc should be subject 0
IHT when passing to children. Even the, effective, £1m or so currently in
place isn’t really high enough, it is easy to exceed that. (Fortunately,
there are legal ways to avoid IHT even if you have more the £1m) £1m per
child would be more reasonable.

Conversely, if the off spring have obviously been sitting around waiting
for another hand out, moaning about how tough life is etc, tax it at 100%
and give it to the NHS.

No true socialist should complain at that. Reward the hard working, the
first case, help the masses and don’t reward the lazy in the second case.
Of course, those who fall into the second group- remember you need to have
bought a property- will scream it is unfair.

I'm not entirely sure about that. If you buy a house to live in, and
want to pass it on as an asset, fair enough. If you have bought it in
the hope of gains far in excess of inflation, then (arguably) you are
behaving like a charicature of the robber baron capitalist. Even more so
if you have multiple "buy to lets" with the same expectation.

And that's one of the things that IHT and CGT are after.

Call me an old cynic, but I sometimes suspect that the "simple working
class lad made good" who shouts about IHT is a bit more of a capitalist
than they claim to be.

I think the *real* problem is that government economic policy over the
decades has largely encouraged the housing bubble. This includes council
housing selloff and easing buy to let rules. The underlying problem is
that we have not been building enough houses to match rising prosperity
and (the reasonably) rising expectations. You might (or might not) blame
developers with their land banks but overall, governments have always
had levers that they could use.

Yawn, you sound like someone who envies those who have made been prudent,

Why is there a problem with someone who has made good wanting to pass
his/her money on?

It is the Socialists who have an issue with people who have worked hard,
been prudent etc.

Excuses, excuses, excuses.

Those who are want to succeed and are willing to graft etc can. Those who
are lazy sit back and moan, making excuses, expecting handouts.

At the risk of pointing out the obvious, there are no robber barons. Robbers in this society are usually welfare recipients.

The government shows near zero comprehension of the rental sector and should thus keep out of it until perhaps one day it does understand it.

That, of course, is the historical complaint of mine owners, plantation
owners, chimney sweeps, brothel keepers, bookmakers, mill owners, and,
more recently, medicinal cannabis growers. The usual answer is that on
the contrary they understand it only too well.

That is ever the government's answer. Reality is in this case they don't.

Interesting. The sins of the children visited on the parents.

Do you think the offspring who work hard in a vital but not well paid job
- like say a nurse or policeman or even in the armed services - should be
penalised because they don't get paid enough to buy property?

Or are you still on a different planet to most of us?

He's much more likely to have the state grab the lot and turn
everyone into council housing tenants with no compensation.

And nothing done with land value tax would do that last of yours anyway.

That is an issue. But it's a fairly well recognised one.

The issue is well recognised, The problem is that there is
no solution to that problem that works well for everyone.

That’s a different issue entirely, building regulations and controls.

That’s radically different to rent control, council housing
and what rights tenants have with regards to not being
kicked out of the place they are renting when a landlord
decides that they can get more rent if they do that etc.

We can't even decide whether it makes any sense to allow
landlords to be selective about whether they allow pets or not.

The reason for high house prices is migration.
They're all living somewhere. ie, cheap housing that would normally go to first time buyers.

So how do you decide whether someone has spent their life "sitting
around waiting for another hand out..." or has been productive? It's
not particularly easy and one man's 'lazy git' is another man's 'hard
worker' (... 'hard work' doesn't necessarily mean earning lots of
money).

One way of tipping the balance back in favour of the common man would be
Right To Buy for private tenants. Labour are looking into it, so fingers
crossed.

It's now pretty well established that the combination of property
ownership and inheritance is going to polarise the UK in some quite
nasty ways over the next 30 years.

I had the 'opportunity' to take in some daytime TV for a couple of weeks
recently. Apart from the obviously fleecing nature of the corporations
behind it all, quite nice to see the variety of equity release products
being pushed.

If the government isn't going to do anything, spend it or give it away
while you can.

Moving house is vastly more expensive now than it was forty years ago,
thanks to the 'mansion' stamp duty now applying to most housing in
large towns and cities. It's also a lot more difficult if you have
school-age children.

Do the arithmetic: it's worth moving house for a well-paid job, it
isn't for anything less and particularly for around minimum wage, which
most jobs now are.

Well done, there are some out there that still appreciate that others
can strive as hard and as is nearly always the case, a lot harder to
live hand to mouth.

It nausiates me to see people being hero worshipped for making
millions for effectively moving peoples cash about or gambling, while

Only 36% rent, and about half of those are in social housing. You are
more likely to be 'workless' than in work if you own outright than
privately rent.

Workless: Mortgage 1.3%, own outright 13.1%, private rent 9.7%,
