The Police represents around 11% of Council Tax expenditure for most Local Authorities. |

I'd make BuyToLet gains subject to income tax. That'd sort the housing market out.

If you think its in anyones interest (bar the buy to let parasites) to have millions of families forced into paying rent to private landlords then you are completely clueless. That way all roads lead to disaster. |

whingy wannabe property owners do my head in. Its a market, earn more, save less then you will be able to buy, otherwise your a teanant. And lets face it being a tenant isnt that bad, freedom is worth more than a few bunch of rotten bricks.

Jealousy gets you nowhere United Buiscuits. Landlords renting properties to students pay no Council Tax and nor do the students.... the returns are fantastic! I bet this makes you insanely jealous! |

I bet this makes you insanely jealous! Landlords renting to anyone pay no Council Tax. How much have you invested in this fantastic investment oppertunity? |

This is England 4crying out loud. We all have the opportunity to work for a better future.. Peopel like Grey Shark need a friendly landlord!, otherwise they would have no where to live... Jealously is a terrible thing. It eats you up from the inside... |

There is a differnece between sensible BTL landlords and those that overexposed themselves. When was that extract written?? Most BTL mortgages will eventually come to teh end of a Fixed rate period and Mortgage Express, BM Solutions and Mortgage WOrks all have VERY attractive variable rates linked to base rate. There will be more landlords rubbing their hands in glee than handing teh keys back!! |

chisel - "this is England ffs." More's the pity. Nobody makes anything anymore. Nobody has any ideas. There's only one model - get finance from the Bank of Mum&Dad, get tenants, sit on your hands until you're 20kg overweight and look like a complacent pig while those less fortunate make you richer.

It would decelerate the downward spiral of this country to a position where one half of the country works to further enrich the other half

Why should people who rent not pay council tax, while owner occupiers pay?
Stupid idea, imo. |
