@housingevidence If second home ownership is being tackled why are second home owners allowed to buy affordable properties? If there is a consistent lack of local interest in certain properties, why are they being retained? If there’s no LI they must not be meeting local needs.

@housingevidence A friend in North Wales is selling her house due to the house next to her becoming a holiday let. Living alongside holiday let/s & 2nd homes can be stressful as there is a constant changeover of people & the sense of community is eroded.

[Flo @flo10_flo]

@housingevidence When holiday season ends, people find themselves living next to empty properties or in half empty areas.

[Flo @flo10_flo]

@housingevidence Second home owners can buy affordable homes. Some affordable properties receive no local interest. In this case, these properties go on to the open market and can be bought by second home owners.

@WelshGovernment S106 properties that cascade due to a lack of local interest are often sold way below the discounted selling price meaning moving forward and being able to afford something more suitable in the local area is unlikely.

[Flo @flo10_flo]

@WelshGovernment What about affordable S106 housing that cascades & can be sold to 2nd home owners? These properties could be sold to people who want to live in them full time. Properties continually cascading due to a lack of local interest are clearly not meeting the needs of the local area

[Flo @flo10_flo]

@ITVWales When these properties cascade they should cascade to people who want to live in them full time.

[Flo @flo10_flo]

@ITVWales ..properties that meet local needs should be provided. Reasons why some properties are consistently shunned should be investigated. What’s the point of keeping on affordable properties that are not right for locals in the area, continually cascade & can be bought by 2nd H owners?

[Flo @flo10_flo]

@RTPIPlanners The fact that second home owners can buy S106 affordable homes when they cascade needs to be addressed. A strange situation when 2nd home owners are occupying affordable local homes.

[Flo @flo10_flo]

@BBCRadioWales 2nd home owners can legitimately buy an S106 affordable home if there is no local interest & the property cascades to the open market. Council tax premiums will not deter 2nd home owners from occupying these homes if they are able to afford them.

[Flo @flo10_flo]

@KateNHF @BBCNews Sale cannot take place until a discounted price is agreed . This can take weeks leaving leaseholders unable to move forward. Some sellers will not even sell at the discounted price.

[Flo @flo10_flo]

@KateNHF @BBCNews S106 ‘affordable housing’ often comes with high service charges. Housing stock built years ago or in listed converted buildings often requires updating at the expense of the leaseholder. When selling, a red book valuation is required, currently app £330. Sale cannot take place...

[Flo @flo10_flo]

@mabonapgwynfor Triple council tax won’t stop 2nd homes, wealthier people/corporations will buy up property. It won’t improve local housing. Also S106 properties without high service charges need to be provided. Many 106 leaseholders also have to sell way below the discounted selling price.

[Flo @flo10_flo]

@insidehousing ‘Affordable’ housing that often comes with high service charges and having to sell way below the discounted selling price due to a lack of local interest/interest. S106 housing can be bought by 2nd home owners if properties cascade.

[Flo @flo10_flo]

@pollyn1 S106 leaseholders often lose out financially. So called ‘Affordable’ housing often with high service charges. Leaseholders having to sell way below the discounted selling price due to lack of local interest.

[Flo @flo10_flo]

@auxesiahomes S106 leaseholders often lose out. Paying high service charges and selling way below the DISCOUNTED selling price.

[Flo @flo10_flo]

@santoniab How many S106 leaseholds are actually bought by locals? Also, they can be bought by second home owners if marketed for 20+ weeks without local interest. Lack of local interest needs to be investigated & properties that locals would like built.

[Flo @flo10_flo]

@santoniab Buying an S106 leasehold is costly in many ways. High service charges, often having to upgrade poor fixtures/fittings. Having to sell way below the DISCOUNTED sales price.
