While the number of millennials who own a home continues to fall, one in 10 people now own an additional property. However, when looking at the number of people who can afford an additional property, millennials match the property ownership rates of other generations. "The sheer scale of additional property wealth is an important driver of rising wealth gaps across Britain," says George Bangham, policy analyst at the Resolution Foundation.

Yet another article on second home owners with no balance. Some of us worked and saved bloody hard to create an investment for our retirement given that there will likely be no state pension for us.

more evidence of the true face of tory UK-if your poor don't turn up-land of the rich filthy rich and the top 1%

This is blatantly based around London/South East and because the young people are paying off their mortgages for them in extortionate rent. The rich getting richer.

Need a higher tax surcharge on multiple home ownership to make it totally uneconomic. And encourage existing landlords to sell.

When you put ex council houses in the hands of Tory landlords. Rich boys win win win.
