QED.
Which was the point i was making... Profit first, care of tenants secondary. Hence my agreement of the 'vultures comment'

Whilst I'm sure there are a degree of B2L landlords who do they're best for their long term tenants. The vast majority want the maximum amount of money for the minimum amount of effort. We've all seen some of the horror stories.

So two options

1) Embark on a massive program of social/low cost affordable housing which can ONLY be purchased by the individual (not B2L)

2) Move towards a more US based model of acceptance that not everyone owns their own home.

I'd much prefer option 1, I suspect option 2 is the more likely model based on current progression.
