I'd be grateful if you could start a debate to even up the current thinking surrounding the London housing shortage. 4 years of 0.5% interest rates have served buy-to-let landlords with a portfolio of 10-20 properties - they can borrow against the equity to buy more properties. Many estate agents are in on it for a back-hander. I've seen it happen.
There needs to be an investigation to see whether the playing field can be levelled. So I'm asking to table a debate about it. Thank you
