  • I see a flaw in your figures.
    It would be good to understand how many private rented properties there are, however you make an assumption that all 50k rent from private landlords.

    It's likely that your 20% figure may be considerably lower when actual figures are put in place.

    No, because the LHA caps don't apply to social housing.
    ...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.

    I think you may have missed morag1202's post # 24 that provided some facts on the matter.

    I did see it. but LHA caps still don't apply to social housing.

    I understnad the point you are making but it turns out I was right and the 20% of private landlord was actually far nearer 10% as stated the percentage would likely be lower.

    Actually, lending under UK average mortgage lending standards, even the standards of 2007, is demonstrably not a risky activity for lenders.

    Our exceptionally low arrears and reposession rates are testament to that fact.

    So, all is well then.

    Phew !
