The Progressive Property Podcast Renters Reform Coalition Blames Landlords For Generation Rent
Kev gives his thoughts on the current report put out by the Renters Reform Coalition. He discusses their claims that landlords are responsible for the shortage of housing and talks about how the government could actually help solve the housing crisis instead.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Many landlords wouldn’t have benefitted from the rises between the 1990s and now.
- You can’t compare the value of a house in the 90s to now, it’s not comparable.
- The government are responsible for building council homes, not landlords.
- Help to buy isn’t a good solution for the housing crisis, it benefits developers and helps them sell whilst putting buyers in more debt.
- Landlords have no choice but to put the rents up, this is an economic issue caused by the government, it’s inflation.
- There are many properties out there that could be put back into use, providing new homes for people but also jobs as they are refurbished.
