Longer term contracts with some sort of rent increase written in is one way of doing this. The clamour to change landlord and tenant law in favour of longer term tenancies will grow. I expect something that can be sold as favouring the tenant, but favours institutional long term landlords more and looks to shaft small time landlords.Steven_Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05029437876479574883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141932539860553199.post-64013489928996578622017-01-11T18:33:10.417+00:002017-01-11T18:33:10.417+00:00SL, possibly and we will see.

I reckon the powers that be hate this. As rental property becomes more of an institutionalised investment (I see Legal and General are getting in on it, presumably egged on by Woodford and the likes) they will want there to be an increment on the yield every year.<br /><br />I do reckon that in the next property crash, the small time BTL landlords will be rinsed and hung out to dry. The bailouts will go direct to the mortgage lenders and the title to the properties direct to the likes of L&G. All to 'help' the tenants of course.Steven_Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05029437876479574883noreply@blogger.com
