You can achieve all of that more equitably by building more social housing and taxing BTLs. Primary residence mortgage relief is just a bung to the voting middle classes, and as your figures suggest, it has not led to a higher rate of homeownership in the Netherlands than the UK.
I really don't think that the overheated UK housing market needs any more demand-side stimulus.

If it’s more affordable to own a home and there’s healthy taxes on second ones and investment property than you cut out private rentals. Not that hard right? There’s also a higher tax if you own your home outright.
