LBC said by 2016 it will cost UK people an average of £80,000 (£4,500 take home net) to rent a good place in London.

 

now they didnt make it clear if that was just a 1

Need to put a stop to all these rich greedy foreigners buying up property in London and leaving them empty

 

Only people who have lived here for 15 years should be allowed to buy or something along those lines

 

Sure I heard in Thailand they got a rule that foreigners cant buy certain buildings

Yeah rich foreigners buying up multiple houses and flats for 'investment' and then leaving them completely empty will become a voting issue sooner rather than later, now this has hit the middle classes aka the voting classes you will see some movement on this. First political party to make a move on this will garner a lot of votes.

I am aware of that. 

 

But the main problem here is the culture of buy to let. That Landlords can dictate whatever amount they want on a property and have the struggling tenant pay off his/her mortgage.

This is what they were discussing on LBC. Regardless of foreigners buying the property or Home citizens. The culture of  buy to let needs to be addressed. Which many of the callers weren't too happy about.

it affects buy to let culture because if foreigners keep buying up properties and leaving them empty nobody can afford to buy - forcing the market to go leff

 

thus an intrinsic theory of renting / demand going up and landlords taking the 'obligation' to increase their rents... RPI

Bye London

 

trust me

 

landlords hiking up prices is a direct result of 'the foreign splash', property along crossrail and battersea park has been hung drawn n quarted. two of the biggest economical ventures in the capitals future and both not due to land for another ten years AT LEAST.

 

Slowly but surely London's being socially cleansed.

 

Will be very interesting to see how this changes the outer london districts in terms of the people having to move there

 

blacks to manny whites to essex and foreigners wherever or what u thnk

with all these new builds that i see being built  'buy to let' culture aint going nowhere

Which is why the foreign argument is flawed imo

Most home grown people who buy-to-let do so as a pension for the future. So the poor will pay off your mortgage or will contribute as rent to your pension pot. 

You cant be selective with your buyers when you have cultivated a monopoly style culture with your housing market open to ALL. 

Their is really no room for morals in the housing market..GABOS.

 

Its unfortunate. But it is what it is.
