daviduk Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 https://www.streetlife.com/conversation/2ev2o56yf8abc/#comment-2 This thread got emailed to me earlier. I think you need to sign up to comment. But if proof were needed as to whether killing BTL is a vote winner, look no further. I quite enjoyed the irony the woman who's bought a BTL by mortgaging herself to the hilt (hoping crossrail will inflate the price) whilst also complaining her son cannot afford to buy a place of his own.

winkie Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Person with three homes renting two out one vote......they are fully aware that young working people are priced out of ever owning without HELP, knowingly admit at their age with same job, same area they could buy without any help....going on to say a small studio flat box they own, their 1st rung that was bought for £30k and never sold but now fully paid for in London brings in a steady reliable income, more than any state pension would ever pay @ 67 approx.

Dorkins Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Debbie Ca day agoMy sons had hefty deposit and still had to buy outside the borough. They have a lovely flat in Burnham. Meanwhile I have bought a small buy to let in West Drayton. I am not rich and have no pension. I could not afford to pay one when my kids were young. Plus I will be paying hige taxes on it. I resent being told I am greedy. I am mortgaged up to the hilt and hope that Crossrail will be as good as it promises. Tulipmania. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geezer466 Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Which is why Osborne sees the notion as fair game. Expect more tax penalties going forward...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
londislagerhound Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 The old "supply and demand" garbage again. Pull away the props, BTL tax breaks and a return to sensible interest rates and as we all know it's job done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neverwhere Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 They should be taxed on any gains as a result of public works like Crossrail anyway. 100% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
