They are saying that vacant up to a year without penalty but second properties won't get that same privilege. The main people this should affect are the offshore property investors but that's not going to happen because foreign property investors often don't bother filling in the required forms with Her Majesties Revenue and Customs and at this moment in time, nobody bothers chasing them and they don't bother chasing them because they often don't have any record of who they are.
