The marketplace will prevail. A shortage of houses means higher rents. If HMG wishes to increase the number of rented properties then it must come up with an advantageous package to attract people to invest in BTL

To abolish Section 21 will simply mean that some people who would have purchased a BTL property will think twice and not do so. HMG introduced the AST in 1989 because investors would not purchase properties to rent out because...

It is supply and demand! If landlords are selling up HMG needs to ask why? Silly mandarins in Whitehall who come up with crackpot ideas and do not foresee the consequences for people who cannot afford to purchase!

If there is no Section 21 many lenders, if not the majority, would exit the BTL mortgage market! It is a question of balance! If a person is left a house by a deceased relative he either rents it out...

Hindsight is a marvellous thing! Why did you not purchase a Rent Guarantee Product to start with and let the Rent Insurer obtain possession and, of course, continue to pay the rent!

Th Country needs an army of administrators! They need to be paid well! They need to be imported with a high level of English Language skills. There also needs to be more County Court Judges specialising in just Possession Orders.
