I have just read an article on the times website.
Having just written about positive signs in the sales market, I do hope that moves like this by the Government don’t slow the steady progress within the property lettings sector.
Whilst this green paper appears to be a good idea and will cause concern to a very small number of landlords, it is the vast majority of good landlords that will have another hurdle to overcome.
Another situation of a minority causing problems for the majority.
The same situation is happening for the letting agents who are all having to join or re-join various governing bodies to protect tenants deposits. Again this is a good idea and needs to be done but it has been brought about by the unprofessional acts of a few companies.
Just a thought……. Home Information Packs? How have they worked for the home buying and selling process???
Hope to have a comment or two on that one!

Good blog, my point would be that the government are also in discussions with some national builders regarding large new homes sites that would be built for rental purposes and the rents would be under written by the government.
This is purportedly a move to keen the construction industry on the move and legislation to protect these national builders and urge them to become large plc landlords.
Is this also a move to push the smaller landlord out of the market?
