In this episode, Rob digs into the facts behind a recent story that says councils will soon have the right to double council tax bills on second homes, not in use. As well as on those that are let out for at least 70 days a year.
He looks at the situation from several angles. Including, providing understanding on how it would impact accidental landlords, holiday let owners and others. Rob also talks about why so many people are opting for green mortgages.
