Crucify landlords and you will see those who want to rent or cannot buy on the streets, or paying higher rent due to a lower volume of rental stock.

But landlords are not being crucified, it's just a move to squeeze the high risk ones. Those who are over leveraged. Those who might risk the stability of the aforementioned house of cards. Longer term landlords will own properties, renters will rent. Why not?Comment

Buy-to-let DOOM
Originally posted by jamesbrown View PostBy what mechanism though? I can only think of one, really, where there's a full-blown Sterling crisis and the Bank is forced to increase the base rate. In practice, I think a cut in rates is more likely. Anyone that is concerned about Sterling probably would've reduced their exposure to UK assets already, and it will be too late following a Brexit, as any correction in Sterling will be swift. On the other hand, if Sterling depreciates significantly, UK property will begin to look cheaper to foreign investors, providing there's a sense of political direction. I know the latter is quite an assumption but, let's face it, Brexit isn't guaranteed to result in any wholesale changes. It's more likely that there would be a period of reflection and planning before we invoke Article 50, despite what Hamface says. During that period, I think we'll be asked to think again (), perhaps with some actual concessions this time.Last edited by PurpleGorilla; 29 April 2016, 17:32.Comment
