Nigel Farage has suggested Brits could be restricted from buying new-build holiday homes in tourist hotspots.
The Reform leader voiced interest in schemes reserving newly constructed properties for those who are 'genuinely local' - although he stressed it was not party policy.
Mr Farage reportedly pointed to the example of Mevagissey in Cornwall, where a similar rule has been implemented.
Reform took control of the county council in May, and the MP told the Telegraph 'something has to be done' for residents being priced out in picturesque towns and villages.
Mr Farage said he did not support the Labour government's approach of charging second home owners in England double council tax.
'You build exclusively for people who can prove that they are genuinely local, that is the solution,' he told the paper.
Asked whether that was official Reform policy, Mr Farage added: 'We haven't stated that yet but I am strongly of the view, looking at Mevagissey in Cornwall, I genuinely think they've got it right.
'And we have to do something for the people in Cornwall, North Norfolk, South Devon and places like that.'
Although Mevagissey's ban has been popular with many of the 2,500 residents since being introduced seven years ago, there have been questions about the impact on development.
Hardly any new-builds have been added over that period, and second home owners can still purchase older properties.
Figures show that house prices average £359,950 in Mevagissey and nearby Polgooth - around 13 times as much as the median wage in Cornwall.
Michael Roberts, the chairman of Mevagissey parish council, told the paper: 'We haven't had many new-builds in the area since that time. From our point of view it's status quo at the moment and we'll have to wait and see over the coming years.'
