There have been one or two cases like this, would I be wrong in thinking Padstow had something similar a few years back?

I still don’t buy the argument made by the council that second home owners contribute on anything like the scale as permanent residents. They can’t. Maybe just saying the right things to avoid pissing off their voters.

The second home owners dont understand that they destroy the very places they love

They do. Then, holiday homes aren't much better, and buy to lets are not a lot better than that

 

[Cowmansam]

Second homes is a massive issue.

Abersoch, Rhosneigr, Treaddur Bay .... all ghost towns in winter to name but 3

Booming in summer though Millions upon millions pumped into the local economy

Explain the buy to let comment please. As I assume buy to lets are for long term tenants, so basically replacing everything the government sold off in the 80s. Especially in Scotland now with the stricter rules on getting tenants out.

They dont replace everything the govt sold off as rents are astronomic and there is no security of tenure.

There's a lot more security now isn't there. I don't pay any attention to it as I don't have one now. And surely the astronomic rents are as a consequence of the govt sell off and a new group of homeowners that got houses at ridiculously cheap prices, just because they were sitting tenants! (I know this will wind you up hee hee)

There is very little actual new security
The landlord lobby has ensured most can be circumvented

If you own more houses than you can live in you create the housing shortage. Buy to lets are a part of the problem increasing prices. Many people pay more per month to rent than they would be offered in a mortgage themsleves.

And existing mortgage holders on floating rates have cash to burn and are buying more

supply and demand?

Shortage caused by the planning system.
Demand caused by imports and those that can't keep knickers on.

Seem to recall you're over the threshold for population growth yourself, from what you've written on here.
