We don't need additional legislation, we need the exisiting legislation applied in full and as quickly as possible to these people in the same way as it is to anyone else. The idea that it should take 10 years to evict people as it did at dales farm is utterly ludicrous.
Quite a few ****** now seem to front as waste disposal companies, except rather than disposing of it properly it just ends up in places like this.
I forget the name of the village but they had a load turn up and turn a greenfield site into a junk yard. Took them 3 years to get them moved on even though they had no planning permission or any legal basis for what they did.

I have nothing against Buy-to-let landlord in principle, but I agree it's got completely out of hand now. Some have multiple properties (up to a dozen) which is taking away from people trying to get into the housing ladder. If I was in government I would propose that no one person and spouse can have more than two properties that are Buy-to-let at any one time.
So they would just get registered to all their family members instead
It would still reduce the overall number of properties buy quite some number
Not that anyone can get a mortgage these days.
Much cheaper and better for those not as well off to get into a house they couldn't afford to buy.
You really do live in a wee bubble don't you.
Well something like this perhaps... we finally outlawed residential squatting lets bring in tougher legislation to tackle this problem - allow the police to get involved as soon as caravans pitch up on public land etc...
Its not really related to people choosing to live in caravans and park up on public land - they have been doing that before during and after property bubbles/crashes...
I wouldn't also be so quick to attribute property price rises to one particular group either. You also have to consider that low interest rates and easy access to credit helped the market up regardless of the presence of buy to let types. (plus there is some requirement for us to have these landlords - they do provide a service people require especially as far as short term accommodation, flat shares etc.. are concerned) Anyway it probably is more for another thread...
It would reduce the number of available rental properties meaning rent prices will go up.
Meanwhile house prices can't come down significantly as it will upset the whole market and people still won't have enough savings to put down a deposit.
Property has always been a commodity and it was only after the 1950's that this obsession with owning your own home has come about. Really it was the building boom in the 50's / 60's that made it a reality for most people, now we are back in the situation where demand outweighs supply.
