Could Brexit signal the end of the road for second-home owners in Europe?

[Jimgym]

Yes and most of them voted brexit

I’d love to read the proof to back up your assertion please.

Actually I should have put probably Jim, I am glad that you are back

You probably should have I've not been away, still reading posts but avoiding the dramas! Thank you for the welcome though

I wonder if those who voted Remain did so in the knowledge they would be stopping those lucky enough to own second homes in France from paying tax on the sale

Thanks Alan
I decided to give it a rest as we are were we are. I'm aware you didnt vote for Brexit, it's the Democratic process you're more interested in. Where we differ is our opinion of the UK's Democratic System; I don't believe a three line Whip is conjucive to a fair and free Democracy and a FPTP system isn't Democratic when a government can be in power with only 36% of the vote; I believe the only other country in Europe that use FPTP is Belarus and look what's happening there.
Most people who voted Remain voted for a status quo which would have protected those who have a second home in Europe by default. Brexit voters in most cases wanted change without considering the effects that change would bring.

Fully agree guys, but I am sure that there are 'ex pats' around that hold some pretty obnoxious views about immigrants and if they were called immigrants themselves they may come to realise the absurdity of their stance

I agree, got to laugh when you sometimes speak to expats here, especially when we were discussing Brexit, and the conversation is about the demise of the UK, too many immigrants living in their own neighbour hoods, never learning to speak English, not integrating, blah blah blah, says the Brexit loving brit who lives in a English neighbour hood and after living here for many years, cant be bothered to learn any Greek , doesn't intergrate, the Irony is lost on these fools.

How on earth can it be compared an immigrant entering the UK to a UK ex pat immigrant coming to live here in Cyprus is beyond me.I am going right down to the welfare office if this is correct to claim all my freebies...Oh and free 5 star hotel accommodation of course

You are getting confused between immigrants and asylum seekers.
If you go to the Cypriot Police and claim asylum they will put you in a complex in Chlorakas or rented accommodation somewhere in Paphos and welfare will give you a payment as all countries signed up to the UN agreement are obliged to do.
Immigrants on the other hand don't get "freebies" as you suggest; like in Cyprus, in the UK you you dont get anything out unless you paid in. Unemployment Benefits or NHS treatment are not free to anyone who turns up, you have to qualify.
The UK is the creator of it's own misfortunes as far as EU Immigration is concerned, it failed to introduce any controls on anyone entering the country even though the tools to do so were available and then had the audacity to blame the EU.
As I suggest in another post, you should really change your reading habits.
