    Not sure why you laugh.
    Similar thing happened to the contracting market, lots of contractors exited due to 'gov'mint interference ruining their profits', like IR35 and allowing cheap IT workers in.

      I laughed because I thought it funny that someone would think it was an investment opportunity and gave the reason why I thought it was funny.

        Being good landlord also means you need ability to avoid bad tenants . It’s a business just as any and you have to swim or you’ll drown

        no sympathy to section 21 evicters and you just need a reason why you’re evicting which seems fair enough .

          You're leaving a lot gains on the table with that attitude, even capital appreciation in your real estate is in part due to the speculative markets.

          Right now the ISA allowance is pretty decent and in a long enough time frame you can grow a nice little pot, back dated SIPPS are also lucrative. I also divest a % of excess Ltd. capital in stocks and shares (II has a corporate account), and occasionally add a BTL depending on market conditions, personally I prefer capital growth over yield.

            Scoots still says that Apr 2020 didn't mark the start of a new stock bull market.
