People will simply stop buying such properties and then builders will slow down on building
He also mentioned buying housing stock off housing associations, which makes a bit more sense.

There is something a bit wrong with foreign investors, buying land, building luxury apartments; then keeping them empty until the time is right and they can make a profit. Meanwhile there are homeless UK citizens outside. Affordable housing ,not penthouses is what we need.
