I can see there being exceptions if you say own a property but have to move swiftly elsewhere and can’t/don’t wish to sell it, in such a case letting it out makes sense.

No, no exceptions. Once there are exceptions people will abuse them. Even if you inherited your parents property if you already have one you should have to pay extra taxes on it from the day they die until the day you sell it, period. Any person, family, business, or corporation should only own one property, zero exceptions.

Edit: /S. Thought that was obvious

It can literally take years to sell a property even if you want to sell it. I don't think it's fair to penalize people who are unable to unload an asset and I also don't think it's fair to expect them to just give it away.

No problem. It's often hard to tell because of Poe's Law.
