One down, quite a few to go....But hold on, Buckingham Palace to get major re-furb......
Tis the case for at least the last 35 years. You either match supply with demand or you cut demand. No wonder we are where we are.Govt way off on it's target.... but still totally committed !.....
Yet would they be able to rent them out at such lucrative prices if there wasn't the demand?It doesn't matter how many houses they build. The more well off will just keep buying them then renting them out. If I hear another person on 'Homes under the Hammer' mention that they've bought a property at auction so they can add it to their portfolio of existing properties I might just crawl into a corner (rented) and weep.
It matters little what we think - landlords have a vote and there's quite a few of them. The pressures on whatever Housing Allowance is called today has effectively reduced what really amounts to a subsidy for landlords. It's portrayed, for political purposes, as money given to tenants, but, of course, it's only "resting in their account" (if at all) before it's passed to the landlord.anybody else think the goverment should place an additional tax on the income generated from privately renting a residential property. or charge duty on the purchase price of a property if rented out within a set time scale say 25 years payable by the property owner before any rent can be collected. buy to let is keeping house prices artificially high forcing ordinary people to rent pushing up rental demand and rental prices. making buy to let even more profitable so more investers enter the market and so the cycle continues.
And Foreign Aid, a lot of which never really leaves the country, it just buys products that would have been bought elsewhere, if it was real money.Same as tax credits, it's just a form of benefit that ensures employers can pay you less.
