Three major property related policies emerged from the rhetoric of the Lib Dem Conference:<\/p>\n

1. Mansion Tax<\/strong><\/p>\n

See our comments under the Conservative Conference…..<\/a><\/p>\n

2. 300,000 Homes<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Lib Dems have officially called for a 300,000 homes a year target, after delegates approved the \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcDecent Homes For All\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 paper with only a handful of votes against.<\/p>\n

Three amendments to the paper were also approved; calling for local authorities to be given the power to tax vacant developable land, for the party to reject moves to sell off high-value social housing and noting concerns about government plans to allow section 106 requirements to be reduced (concerns shared by the Labour opposition<\/a>).<\/p>\n

2. Pension Pots for Guaranteeing Mortgages<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nick Clegg suggested that parents and grandparents should be able to use their pensions to help their children get on the housing ladder via the \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcpension for property\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 plan.<\/p>\n

This aims to let those approaching retirement borrow against the lump sum payment in their pension to underwrite the mortgages of young people who cannot afford to buy a home.<\/p>\n

Up to a quarter of a pension pot can be paid out in a lump sum when someone retires, giving a substantial sum to secure an important loan. Many believe that a lack of credit has greatly restricted demand in the economy and the Lib Dems hope that this scheme will release some of it to the benefit of the wider economy.<\/p>\n
