It's called rubbery. I know you are probably joking, but at the core of the issue is that the UK government use administrative measurement to solve a pure economic phenominon. Boom and recession are built-in components of economic cycles, the market, or the invisible hand, always works itself out. The government should never interfere the market. That particular proposal might even be challenged to be unconstitutional as it directly violates a citizen's right over his own properties.

Chinese government is also searching for solutions. It's reported, at least in Shanghai, a new policy was announced that unless you've paid off all the mortgage you cann't sell your apartment to the next buyer. This basically reduces the liquidity of the investment so hot money will retreat (so do they hope). It's still bad, but to a less extent compared to what UK was trying to do.

All governments around the world are evil. They solve problem by their ways of redistributing fortunes yet at the end cause more problems (Look at U.S.'s tax code, even IRS doesn't understand it). IF a governement not the market can do it, communist countries would've ultimately won. Yet this socialist mentality is shared among many European nations, and look what they have done to the economy: innovation stalls, unemployment rate is sky-high and labor unions become uncontrollable beasts. With such a strong-armed socialist agenda, no wonder UK never restores its pre-war glory.
