Didn't the Rep. of Ireland do away with their version of section 24 around 2009? There must be case study analysis of LL behaviour then. I believe they have now reversed section 24 i.e 10 years later where you get...
Rental supply unlikely to fall now as the WAR has stopped people selling and buying due to trend towards higher interest rates so the government will have a sigh of relief that the RRA will not reduce supply. I am...
If Burham gets the reins of PM then LLs are in for serious pain. Unfortunately the NRLA won't save us as they are already coseying up to his LL charter in Manchester.

The whole scheme is a duffer. I have Victorian properties so no chance of getting C without harming the the fabric of the building. Internal insulation on walls will not allow the property to 'breath' and cause damp and mould...

Beadle is now being frank and honest about the RRA but no point as its law. He should have been shouting this during RRB. Government will just ignore it until change of the government in 3 years time as the...
