poppet2 Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Isn't this a conflict of interest when debating the subject of capping rents?

kywin Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Isn't this a conflict of interest when debating the subject of capping rents? Shouldn't an independent body deal with this subject? It also means they are a vested interest when it comes to stimulating house price growth, which is good if you own more than the property you live in and bad if you don't own a property.

Mecky Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Good to see private investors putting their money into the housing market. If would be if they were building new houses, but they're not. They are buying up properties that already exists and that does not increase the available housing stock, unless they renovate derelict buildings which they would probably sell on rather than rent out.

Mister M Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 No doubt those third of MPs with 'buy to let houses' will start their special pleading that along with second jobs, it's one of the ways it helps them keep in touch with the real world.
