Closed Don't encourage rent increases & poor rental standards - Remove BTL Stampt Duty

Closed on

The Chancellor today announced additional stamp duty for buy to let investors. This increased cost is likely to increase rents and encourage lower rental standards as landlords may want to still maintain their income.

Please help stop the government from causing a bigger housing issue

Also it may deter new investors so will drive a lower amount of rental housing availability and again this is likely to drive rents up
