>>NEWS UPDATES<<
The second homes issue has never been so hot - ever-changing legislation, environmental debates, road congestion and pricing, sociological change, property prices...it all makes news.
The trouble is, an unrepresented body of people can get a bad press. Misconceptions may not get challenged. At Second-Homes.Org we're trying to redress the balance and achieve an unbiased media view of second and holiday home ownership.
In the meantime, we feel you should know what's being said about your cherished bolthole, investment or family heirloom. This is the place to find a digest of second home news. We make no apology for putting our own viewpoint on the issues but, of course, we won't change the facts.
We would also welcome your tip-offs on breaking news which may be of interest. You can be our eyes and ears and share the news with fellow second-home owners.
So, if and when you see or hear any news about second homes, please tip us off at; manager@second-homes.org.
Then there are events: whether exhibitions, conferences or political activities - we intend to keep you informed.
On the right hand side of the page we will list all the second homeowner news to keep you informed.
