London rental market booming!!! Rents going through the roof!!
Why should landlords be charging sky high rents when in reality they have been given a massive gift of 0.5% interest rates at the expense of savers.
You are of course quite right... Does your comment mean it will be OK for Landlords to increase rents as & when (OK then, when..) interest rates increase??
Cheers!
Artful
PS I remember having a mortgage shortly after Thatcher grabbed power & interest rates his 17% (yes, s-e-v-e-n-t-e-e-n percent..). It was painful....
