@bazscott you know I can't say that for sure. It’s an extremely complex system, and we can't solve housing problems on an individual basis. What I do know is that the house we bought was designed and approved by the local government to be a high spec second/holiday home. It was never intended to be affordable housing so by my wife and I buying it the only people who were deprived were landlords and people expanding their AirBnB empires.

And trust me: We agonised over this.
