Brexit

You suggested that landlords vacating the sector might actually help young people. It won't. The reverse is true. Nor is your suggestion that the proceeds would otherwise be invested in business here a reality.
For the same reason money is leaving the house sector it will leave the U.K. Altogether.

OK, I was suggesting that landlords not buying houses to rent would reduce the demand for those houses in the buyers market. Traditional economics tells us less demand means less inflation.

You mentioned "restriction on supply" like it was something I was suggesting. I don't understand what you meant there.

Also, I didn't say it would naturally follow that proceeds from landlords would go into UK businesses. What I I said was "we need wealthy people to be putting money into making the UK competitive". Don't you agree?

Exposed: Llani's reason for supporting Brexit. He's hoping it will lead to the break-up of the United Kingdom so that he can have a Welsh passport.

Those smart arsed remoaners who keep saying "we respect the result of the referendum" have now put forward 12 options that have been voted on. No No No No No No No No No No No No.

Arseholes.

Eloquently put. For MPs to defy the constitution demanding their voice is heard and then prove they have nothing to say is ridiculous. All of the votes are not as close as appear because the front bench abstained.

Most likely outcome is leave on April Twelve

When hmos get ditched three times the number of people are then competing for rental property available. The type of house they vacate still have demand from families moving out of rent, so the net result is reduced supply and increased demand for rental property on lower occupancy.

All the socialist knee jerk reactions, from making letting more onerous for landlords ( so increasing cost, reducing supply) to making employment more onerous for employers ( increasing unemployment and casual work, ask Spain) to raising taxes ( so reducing tax collected) all achieve the opposite of what these clueless ideologues claim. On rental Effectively Abolishing no fault eviction, lengthening tenancies is a disaster in Scotland. The threat of 3 year tenancies ( that tenants don't want unless one sided) , increasing taxation and removing fees will dramatically increase rent and reduce supply in England.

Price controls will do what price controls always do. Kill supply. In Cuba they put a price control on milk. Net result no milk production! It was only when food was left to free market the food queues stopped in soviet Russia.

Sadly, I don't think Davis is in with a real chance to replace the Maybot. (

I agree. We have seen that spin and presentation usually wins over substance these days and that is why I think Johnson will prevail.
He does have as you say a marmite type appeal, but he has a charismatic presentation style that might make him an effective front man.

I don't know if any of you saw Stanley Johnson on the Chase last might. There was a really funny moment.

The question was something like "When was Stradivarius making his violins? 16th, 17th, or 18th Century."

Johnson answered 18th Century. Walsh asked why he picked the 18th. Johnson replied "well I assume he was alive when he was making them".

It was the 18th.

By dumping HMOs which are made impossible by the lunatic left intent on repealing section 21, masses of single person accomodation is disappearing. These are the very places offering "affordable" accomodation to allow youngsters a good quality of life whilst they save for a deposit. I have shut down accomodation totalling ten places already. All the HMO owners I know are planning an exit. Just like corbyn is scaring away car companies and investors, and tanking utility shares (for which he should be prosecuted for making price sensitive releases with the influence of a shadow director) He is also shutting down accomodation. He isnt even in power yet. Just the threat is enough.
The morons of SNP have already tried preventing no fault eviction. The net result of the massive exodus is to push rents up for the restricted number of landlords willing to remain in the madhouse. Landlords are leaving in massive numbers to invest money elsewhere in the world. Who has it helped?

So what happens when you "shut down" accommodation? Do you mean that you just sell it and look for something more profitable to invest in?

You may be interested to know that over recent years my wife has taken much of her assets out of Singapore, to invest in two houses for rent here (and has spent a fair amount of money improving one of them from its rather poor condition when she bought it). She wouldn't want Jeremy Corbyn in power here any more than you would, but she still sees houses as a good investment, and she doesn't trust the Singapore government. In fact, when she first announced to me that she was supporting Brexit, her reason was that she saw the EU as being like the PAP (the ruling party ever since independence) in Singapore, i.e. overbearing, undemocratic, corrupt.

Interesting article here. It demonstrates how the Customs Union doesn't work for the UK.

Yes as far as EU membership is concerned, anything that is not full membership is just a case of how much of your nose you are prepared to cut off.
