This must be going against some EU law or the other somewhere.

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.

Knowing how much the Italians love their red tape, it's a miracle anyone can buy a house in Italy.
Watch with interest, I reckon.

I agree. Cornwall will use this. It might rebuild communities again. _________________Do concentrate, 007... "You are gifted. Mine is bordering on seven seconds." https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTg5MzczNTkhttp://astore.amazon.co.uk/wwwx404couk-21

It is common sense, so it is bound to fail, but I'll keep my fingers crossed that it does succeed. Affordable housing for local families in "holiday" areas is very much needed - as long as the title on the property restricts reselling to local for 50 years or something, otherwise you'll get locals buying cheap, selling high and buggering off anyway...

I think it will be good for the area. It will retain locals and the character of an area. It will also retain a significant local population in the off season, which has been a problem in the lake district and cornwall. Maybe the restrictions should be permanent rather than 50 years otherwise families will sell out a generation or two later and you are back to square one.

It's probably against EU law to make it statute only to sell to locals but there's nothing to stop people doing it anyway once the idea is out there. You don't have to sell anything to anyone if you don't want to.

+1 Use a variation of it to stop 2nd (holiday) homes destroying communities.

It would be like a deed of covenant which is perfectly legal. _________________Do concentrate, 007... "You are gifted. Mine is bordering on seven seconds." https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTg5MzczNTkhttp://astore.amazon.co.uk/wwwx404couk-21
