While there is no doubt that certain areas of the UK property market need to be regulated and “rogue traders” pursued, surely the government is going too for? A significant hike in stamp duty and meddling in the letting agents market (which is likely to have a zero net effect) is not helping investor sentiment. At a time when the UK government needs maximum investment in housing stock, why not incentivise investors rather than using them as a cash cow?
