These include taper relief, which lowers capital gains depending on the length of ownership, and the ability of married couples - or those in civil partnerships - to transfer part of the ownership to the partner who pays the lowest rate of tax.

How Nelsons can help

The premise of the story is about a boy named Alex and how he lives in two different homes, because his parents are separated. While these two homes are very different on the surface, in reality and fundamentally, it's not all that different, save the authority figure. Alex is really happy wherever he is, whether he's with his mother or father, and in return, and most importantly, so are his parents. So how much of the housing crisis is caused by second homes? Well, it depends which crisis you mean. Let’s start with its most extreme manifestation: homelessness. On one estimate, there are 288,000 households in England that are homeless or in imminent danger of becoming so. So on this measure, we discover something truly obscene: there are roughly twice as many second homes as homeless households. What we need, in all cases, is effective politics. We might decide, as a nation, that holiday lets are important enough to make other people homeless, or to trigger demand for new housing elsewhere. We do, after all, need holidays, and coastal and scenic communities want income from tourists. But good policy doesn’t happen by itself. As we proposed in the Land for the Many report, local authorities should be able to decide how many of the homes in a village or town should be permanent residences, and how many should be holiday lets. Any second home, existing or envisaged, would need planning permission for change of use. This article was corrected on 28 June 2021. Furnished holiday lets should be available for 210 days, but need only be let for 105 days; an earlier version mistakenly used the outdated figures of 140 and 70 days respectively. Of course, this is by no means the whole story. There are 1.6 million households on the social housing waiting list. The level of unmet need could rise even further, now that the Covid eviction ban has been lifted.
