@HenricCont@robprogressive Sweden has a property tax, you pay tax yearly based on value of your house. Like a mansion tax but for all houses (not on flats). All savings interest is taxed, no allowance like UK. There is no CGT exemption on your main home, full CGT on sale of home.
@mikecosgrove Take a look at Wales, not only are boomers moving in and young people moving out because of lack of well paid jobs. The jobs that are reasonably well paid require you to speak Welsh which further exacerbates the brain drain as so few people are fluent
@mrtabrett@paul_warrand@mikecosgrove You’re being quite specific in your pessimism and I’m being rather specific with my optimism 🤣 I bought commercial property in Brighton in 2006 and converted all to residential in 2015.
@paul_warrand@mrtabrett@mikecosgrove I’m also not following why I’ve not made any money owning BTL property since 2008 because when I look at the income I’ve had and what the properties are worth it’s been both a good yearly income and I can sell them for a lot more than I paid for them…
@Lord_Snooty_III@mrtabrett@mikecosgrove Renters will be able afford the rent as long as the landlord isn’t being greedy. Not much has changed for good landlords without mortgages (yet) 😬
@mikecosgrove @happylittlealli The problem is so complex/simple that a solution has not been found. Eating less and moving more solves the problem but implementing that solution is seemingly impossible.
@drlouisenewson Does this study take into account and differentiate between women who are taking AI meds or Tamoxifen? It doesn’t mention anything about it, but I have read numerous studies that say Tamoxifen+vaginal oestrogen is ok, AI meds+vaginal oestrogen is risky. Would be useful to know.
@DrKeithG We all make mistakes! The boat idea sounds fabulous 😎We're ok - apart from hitting a bit of bump in the road before Christmas. I'll send you a private message!
@YesAbertawe@YesCymru So what I am interested in is, what if we have a referendum and we Wexit wales away from the UK… what does that look like? What happens the day after Wexit? Month or year after? It’s an interesting question and I don’t know what the vision is
@YesAbertawe@YesCymru Malta is quite possibly racing ahead, but presumably due to income from tourism. Malta is one big construction site, hotels and holiday apartments going up everywhere. So is that what Wales wants? I’m quite confused now.
