With the demise of final salary pensions it is highly unlikely that ordinary workers will be able to afford typical rents - a time bomb that every political party is trying to avoid.

Fascinating insight - thank you for compiling this. One comment is that with a typical portfolio of five properties this feedback is coming from a group who are well informed. I suspect the general outlook of landlords in the country...

And if they were unfrozen, how long for? The government seems to have little idea how unattractive the housing of benefit claimants has become in the new renting regime.
