How to triple the number of houses for sale.

If you throw the people out of the 20,000 houses who are in arrears what happens to them?

They don't just disappear

It would do nothing to solve the housing deficit though - it still leaves the same number of people chasing the same (inadequate) number of houses.

I suppose the SF magic money tree will house those 20000 families for free?

If people couldnt pay their mortgage, when they are shifted out to then have to compete in the private rental market, what makes you think they will be able to afford the (likely much higher) rent?

So you want to kick people out of their house, then hopefully the people in the market will buy their house and then rent the vacant properties>

So you are in fact not going to triple the number of houses for sale at all?

Just move one set of people from home ownership into renting and one set of people from renting into home ownership?

At the cost of millions in legal fees etc

Not sure you will get much support for this plan which at end of day will not increase the number of houses for sale

Another thing ti point out, when someone is evicted it can take months for the property to become available.

So you would end up with people who can't buy the house and people who have been evicted with no house

So the number of homeless etc would jump for a considerable period.

But not all of the people who would buy your 20000 houses would be coming from the rental market. Are people who live at home with their parents who want a place of their own not allowed buy them?

except now there are potentially 30000 houses up for sale instead of 10k the non payers will have to look after themselves

But how will there be more supply as 20,000 evicted people now need homes?

Ye have a dig at those who had zero hand in the development of the current situation. That always helps.

The magic money tree is here. 50 per cent of renters use HAP so the government is subsidising the market.

So you've x ten'd homelessnes, crahsed propery prices, the banks need a bailout, all the sparks and chipies moved to Oz and taxes rise to help fund the second IMF/EU bail out. We give up our soverinty in favour of Germany. You may as well kill the Queen/King/Michael D too and do a proepr Liz Truss on it.

This isn't going to improve overall supply and some of the posts by the OP are more suited to a blog
