What do affordable housing, arsonists, tourism, the Welsh language and council tax have in common? <\/p>\n
The answer… second homes. <\/p>\n
In some parts of Wales, second homes make up nearly a third of all properties. For local young people trying to buy their first home, that raises a big question – are second homes pricing them out of the communities they grew up in? <\/p>\n
In this video, we explore the impact of second-home ownership on housing affordability, local culture and community life in Wales. We hear from residents, experts and policymakers to find out whether second homes are a problem, or whether there are other factors making it harder for young people to get on the housing ladder. <\/p>\n
From economics and housing policy to tourism and the Welsh language, this is a story about far more than property. <\/p>\n
