IS this the end of small buy to let investors?

BBC News: Branded build-to-let plan on show

There is an "insatiable demand" for rented property in London from residents in the £20,000 to £50,000 wage bracket, the group says.

It wants incentives for large companies to enter the residential rental market and build-up a recognised brands.

I hope this will make all the small buy to let investors packing!!

I can't wait to live in a big, orange Stelios EasyFlat or perhaps in a Branson VirginFlat (no Sky 1 showing there, though—rent or buy, as you choose, all through your Virgin account)!!! It's the Way of the Future! Why didn't they think of it before?

What the rental sector here needs is compulsory management companies like they have in Germany. Because its so hard to find unfurnished flats, renting somewhere with someone else's nasty furniture makes it impossible to feel at home.

As a private tennant I would rather have to deal with a respectable company than some fly-by-night landlord like the ones I've had to deal with in the past.
