"earn"
This mean that house prices will fall since fewer buyers will be interested. The question is whether the houses will be gobbled up by private equity or will be allowed to fall down enough for more people to start buying houses to live in
There was a short term burst of 1/2 bed houses on the market. It's mostly worked through now.
Source: I want to move house.
Nah, the houses will be bought by investment firms. Rent prices ain't going anywhere.
weeps
Only if those firms smell a profit, which apparently means selling them, rather than renting them.
Unused property makes no money.
I see hope, but likely the government will need to continue to support this.
Hahaha! Good. That gets rid of the shit landlords. The changes aren't even that dramatic. You can't get rid of a tenant if they haven't done anything wrong, is one of the new changes. If that makes a landlord "quit" then good riddance
music to my ears!
Lol. Fuck 'em. Parasites.
"Quitting" = selling their homes for people to buy and live in
Oh dear, how sad, never mind.
not the parasites!!

It’s always nice to be reminded of why you blocked hexbear and .ml.
Go back to reddit if you don't like the revival of old school forum culture

Thanks I like yours too, and JRSF if you couldn't tell lol
wouldn't decent forums have had rules against putting massive garish shit in your signature
Nope, but a lot of the old BBcode forums would have an option to hide/show people's sigs
well thank god we don't have that option here
look at my gay horse, nerd
Oh no! Anyway...
Most of them overpaid and overmorgaged. They had to rent out at the highest possible rent to generate profit. Now they get fucked by their own greed.
oh no. so like they will sell.
Pog
But... but who will provide housing??
