Reply to the comment left by Beaver at 15:16 I absolutely agree that corporate landlords are taking over the PRS. There may be bumps on the road, due to government incompetence, but i firmly believe that is the plan as...

I believe the first shot fired in the WoL was by George Osborne in his April 2015 Budget. Since then the economic climate has changed, the country has become poorer and the government has passed more and more anti landlord...

Reply to the comment left by Jesus Diaz at 01/10/2026 - 09:09That is the plan, though it will be combined with corporate landlords taking over the PRS.

My story in case anyone interested. Had 7 properties: 6 Victorian terraced HMOs in trendy part of S.Bristol and lovely 2 bed flat in W. London, Very low mortgages on fabulous full term trackers (Base +0.7%), was making money but...

It’s very little to do with votes, it’s about corruption. Government ministers invited by international companies like Blackrock to give a speech or to be an “adviser” for a few thousand per time. Independent landlords won’t do that so we...

Reply to the comment left by Person Of The People at 02/07/2026 - 10:25It’s not a mistake, it’s a deliberate controlled demolition of the UK PRS to drive out independent landlords and replace them with corporate landlords and institutional investors.

Reply to the comment left by Imout Ofhere at 02/07/2026 - 08:45The government knows what’s going to happen but driving out independent landlords is the plan.

Exactly, the UKs housing has been “commoditised” as an international investment asset class, and control of the money supply is a big part of the picture. Mark is correct in that BlackRock is not interested in buying our Victorian terraces,...

This case shows just how vulnerable is a private landlord to a tenant with a grudge or some form of mental instability. If a Council, with likely significant financial and legal resources, can’t get a Court’s permission to enter their...

The tenants going straight to the Council instead of having a chat with the landlord is likely the result of years of deliberate Government anti landlord propaganda and public brainwashing to demonise landlords and weaponise tenants against landlords. There’s been...

Reply to the comment left by Steve Ticket at 19/10/2025 - 07:22Agreed, the PRS used to be a low risk/medium return investment, the government has turned it into a high risk/low return investment, that’s why I’m also out as soon...

I would say the government is not so much trying to entirely rid the country of the Private Rented Sector but instead split the sector into two tiers. One the PRS with independent landlords heavily regulated and taxed and stripped...

Although the government may be stupid and incompetent those traits are heavily outweighed by their deep corruption from sources such as international wealth management companies like Blackrock and various UK Build to Rent companies. This is I believe their motivation...

Reply to the comment left by Paul Essex at 12/10/2025 - 19:49Knowing what we know about Teflon Tony, who has friends in high places, he most likely does have inside information and is acting accordingly. Possibly he’s selling up in...

Agreed that it’s highly likely BTR will be exempt from a lot of these regulations because that is by design. The various corrupt UK governments over the years have clearly created a two tier rental sector in the UK. One...

“From blocking tenants from paying in advance, incentivising landlords to overprice properties, and driving more to sell-up, a bill designed to protect tenants could inadvertently be about to pull the rug out from under them.” The article is mostly correct...

Reply to the comment left by Rob Thomas at 06/10/2025 - 10:59It’s amazing how many people still believe that Venezuela’s economic problems are due to incompetence. It’s the US sanctions and deliberate destabilisation efforts in order to achieve regime change...

Well well, those behind the scenes have finally publicly confirmed their true agenda. That would be to split the PRS into two distinct camps, independent landlords and corporate landlords. Next phase is to complete the effort to drive out as...

Agreed there is an upper limit to what rent tenants are prepared, and able, to pay due to the generally low average pay in the UK. Agreed about UK Govt, it is very hard to tell which is greater, their...
