Is it not true that today's conservationist is yesterday's developer and yesterday's home buyer?
There are some people who still feel that it is eccentric to ask for statutory protection for the home buyer.
It is to prevent the excessive use of public money competing against the home buyer in purchasing properties.
It is often alleged that every council tenant is subsidised at the expense of the taxpayer, whereas the home buyer is not.
It can have a number of advantages for the developer and the home buyer.
The news is much worse for the young home buyer than it is for the property magnate.
But the would-be home buyer still has to pay stamp duty on that part of the council property which he is seeking to buy.
He is really penalising the home buyer because he is unable to exert pressure against the industry, which is doing extremely well with exports.
