they are sort of, when they sell they unless they live in it they will have to pay big taxes
i can see why though,,, its a BETTER bet than a pension,,, wish i was given this advice when i was 17 being sold a pension
its a cunt,,,,, but its life im afraid, the only people REALLY earning the cash on property is the banks/governents and estate agencys
dont worry though,,, in a few years inheritence tax will free up property, goverment releasing land for development ( not this half rent half buy bollocks) would also help
but aslong as they get there cash in and people work to pay there morgage they why whould they change it !!!
