Interesting times ahead with the election of Jeremy Corbyn as Labour leader.
We were particularly pleased that he mentioned housing in his victory speech.
Housing is an important issue which deserves more attention and we hope that there will now be greater debate at a high level on the various options.
As many landlords have found with the recent budget tax proposals – the Tories do not always have their best interests at heart.
Mr Corbyn’s policies on housing may turn out to be more beneficial than many people think. After all there are serious issues here – poor housing helps nobody and cities like London need homes for its workers rather than investment opportunities for Asian businessmen.

Really? Corbyn a friend of decent “normal” tenants or of average landlords…….. please. Most people in society whether landlords and tenants are unlikely to “benefit” from the sort of crackpottery Corbyn represents.
