The fall of the Tory party

What about my parents downsizing to release a large house to the market for someone that needs it and also to have a reasonable retirement where one party was a full time mother for 30 years and essentially only has a state pension?

I doubt there are many people who won't have made something on a house sale.

Edit: personally I'm for closing loop holes before new taxes.

Only if you sell your home for more than you paid for it.

Does this include mortgage interest payments? Because at the risk of qualifying for the golf club, I've more than paid off the purchase price of my flat already and I still have around 40% of that price left to pay.
