The political class are incentivised to deflect from the failure of the state, and seek to rebrand it as a failure of the housing provider, for which they are to be the saviour and not the cause. The days of...

The talk of energy bill reduction is disingenuous double speak. Currently using gas scores better than electricity because it is cheaper, but in the new 2026 framework, that is turned on it's head, so it isn't really about cost to...

It is a bit late in the day for the cheerleaders of this bill to recognise that it doesn't work and start distancing themselves. Funny how those with skin in the game saw the problems from a mile away, but...

I think of it as otherwise lifelong subjects of the benefit state gaining financial freedom. What good is the precious housing stock if the current patrons are stuck in it all their lives anyway? Must our problems be due to...

Licensing schemes are ineffective because "criminal landlords operate under the radar", therefore these criminals will instead agree to join an accreditation purveyor's MOT scheme? I'm struggling to join the dots.

Lives have been ruined already by PPI and diesel cars, and now we have BTL loans under Reeves. Where is the FCA?

Good article. Could the government also kindly consider applying changes to CGT rates and other tax allowances to property purchased from here onwards? Obviously they wouldn't be so fair and rational as to not tax retrospectively, so what hope there...

For tax efficiency, I will be seeking advice on scope for rollover relief to swap my houses for shares in a sewage farm, if any are available, because that's about as inspiring as my prospects feel under the stewardship of...

This needing to be discussed at all shows how unstable the operating environment has become. To begin with, the state creates inflation, and then taxes those with the audacity to hold assets that hedge it. Taper relief was supposed to...

If nobody is gullible enough to offer accommodation, such that former tenants can't find somewhere else to live, the answer is... to make offering accommodation even less attractive! All hail the politicians and the state! We would be lost without...

The PRS is the antithesis of monopolism, and isn't exploiting anyone, but of course needs to be hyper-regulated! Obviously we can afford to have 'fundamental rights' in our utopia of a post-industrial ponzi deficit economy - I mean we'll find...

Despite the western economic system feeling the need to import a million or so net immigrants per annum, our intrepid think tankers decide the cause of our housing problems must of course be... private property ownership, with an ace of...

Bring back those halcyon days when it would have been shocking to see a landlord association or sector media complaining that landlords are not being fined enough

I concur there are numerous parties lobbying / demonstrating on topics du jour, where the leadership have no genuine interest in the matter at hand, but see it as a pathway to their socialist utopia, and they seem able to...

As the polar opposite of a monopoly, the aspirant renter cannot be exploited by the PRS. I like the adage that in London you compete with the richest in the world for housing, and the poorest for labour - herein...

Reply to the comment left by L G at 18/02/2024 - 21:53The social state as a whole has skyrocketed, not due to RTB, but rather to the broader economic impacts of globalisation, immigration, wealth inequality, economic inactivity, ageing population, state...

The fallacy of RTB denial is the idea that it would have made any difference. The now owners of the former council house would still otherwise be council tenants, and supply for the parabolic increase in immigrants would still be...

It is clear now the FCA or somebody needs to step in and protect people from being mis sold investments in property, in view of this rhetoric and political opposition to non-public-sector providers. The PRS is the crack cocaine of...

Lost me at "charity demands" ie it is an oxymoron that belies the underlying lobby interest to erode the concept of private property rights, a cornerstone of the net zero agenda. Charities should support the needy instead of being Davos...

You will notice there are no lobby groups campaigning for a market economy, yet there are endless guises of anti-landlord / climate justice groups calling for a path to confiscation of private property. They are funded from who knows where,...
