Wealthy people who buy up houses to let and their treacherous minions the letting agents that bleed their tenants dry make me sick. Such a despicable example of pure greed and what is the government doing about it? As usual, absolutely nothing! "There you go, of course you can buy as many houses as you like, and don’t forget to rent them out for as much as you can get so your tenants can cover you’re mortgage."
I really hate way the housing market works these days. It's very polarised, designed to make the rich richer and the poor poorer! There is a real shortage of 'affordable housing' in this country now that the property market has gone nuts and house prices have gone through the roof. The only real option for some of us is to rent, and unless you’re a single teenage mother or an asylum seeker, renting a council house is pretty much out of the question. So what else do you do? You rent a house privately of course and that leaves you at the mercy of unscrupulous landlords and their letting agents.
