Tom in BrightonRecent government tax policy is discouraging BTL, and landlords are selling up.
This has had the perverse effect of driving up rents for a more limited supply of properties.
High interest rates + high rents = buyers can't save for a deposit nor qualify for a mortgage.
What's needed are properties built exclusively to rent. Councils should approve 'build to rent' multi-unit developments that are owned and professionally managed as a whole
