Aviva Plc is preparing a 1 billion-pound fund to purchase newly built homes.

Probably a good business as it will generate a relatively stable stream of cash. They are probably not so interested in capital gains as income over the long term.0

Could be the start of a decent and affordable rental market with professional landlords and decent contracts. What's not to like?
My simple idiot brain, furthermore, suggests the following knock-on effects:
- an influx of available rentals would increase rental supply so pushesd rents down overall
- reduced overall rents would reduce viability of BTL
- reduced viability of BTL could mean increased supply of property to buy
- increased supply of property to buy would reduce property purchase prices
Reduced rental costs AND reduced property prices?
DOUBLE DEFLATION. DOUBLE DELICIOUS.

Put 5 EEs into each new-build flat and you're sorted. How does one get in on the Aviva fund?
Buy Aviva shares. I doubt that the new fund will be separate from the main business. The shares aren't doing too badly as it is now.0 -

IIRC, Aviva shares are paying an excellent dividend at a market leading P/E ratio. Better to buy the shares that invest in their BTL fund with it's associated charges and fees.In case you hadn't already worked it out - the entire global financial system is predicated on the assumption that you're an idiot:cool:0 -

And making life a lot tougher for 'professional' tenants who know they can sit rent-free for 6 months with the help of Shelter etc. by exploiting loop-holes in the law on contract, S21 etc.0 -

Or because poor landlords don't do things properly, perhaps? Not all problems are because of tenants.0
