As for these fast-tracked sites - well if they apply for permission via the fast tracking route then the levy, whatever it is, should be doubled and start to kick in immediately (or say with 1-years grace). Otherwise it is merely a loophole to circumvent normal planning processes for no reason. Either there is a need to get it done and get it done now, or there isn't.

I literally came across this earlier, there is a levy in place, and the entire thing is a token gesture farce!https://www.thejournal.ie/vacant-site-levy-5104669-May2020/ "The tax to try prevent property owners from hoarding land was only collected by 1 in 8 councils last year" Scrap LPT and raise the revenue from the likes of this farce!
Donald Trump wrote: » Why am I having a laugh? I know there is a levy in place but it is not a proper one. Are you against the idea of a levy? I certainly am not. One that is actively enforced and collected. A simple measure such as a scale which increases over time once a zoning is put in place. An add-on can then be incorporated once planning permission is granted. There can be a reasonable time frame before it kicks on but once it kicks in it is mandatory and must be collected every year.

They've achieved a figure 6% higher than there dec 2019 valuation, and this despite a global pandemic. There is clearly confidence in this area, look term outlook etc. I do believe when these went up for sale many were saying they would have a fire sale etc, it seems not to be the case.

Why not be able to double the bed capacity, for the sake of say 2.5 x 3.5m = 8.75 sq m (that would be an acceptable size) used as an extra guest room, office, full time bedroom or even second little living room, to give people space. It would give so much more flexibility. Its the cost of bathroom and kitchen in particular that are very expensive. I really think they could do 30-35sq m one bed apartments, single aspect, that might be a balance between insane prices and actually liveable in... come in and layout like hotel rooms, bathroom , bedroom, kitchen / living area. except instead of bath, bed area, you would have bath > bedroom > kitchen / living area... This design is used a lot in the uk...

Due to new data and this week’s news, I start to think that I was at some extend wrong with my prediction on crisis impact on Residential Property price, but to other direction, than most have thought. My prediction was 3-5% decrease, but I start to think that there may not be further decrease
