There is a certain irony that it was Margaret Thatcher that introduced RTB to the SRS back in 1980 and this year Welsh Labour have successfully abolished this right. Scotland have done the same and Northern Ireland appear to be going the same way, they just need to sort out a government first. The devolved governments of Wales and Scotland appear to be functioning, but Westminster is a shambles. All of that time wasted to vote in a new PM and as soon as he makes a decision there is a call for a vote of no confidence. I really don't think any of the parties are capable of implementing any significant change currently. The alternative strategies have always been there, many relatively unchanged for decades. It's the lender's criteria for cheap borrowing that creates the obstacle, not the current government. Having said that, governments will interfere with the PRS, but there is very quickly an alternative strategy to combat it. How many landlords have incorporated, converted to FHLs or SAs since the introduction of S24? RTB in the PRS will possibly see an increase in leasehold rental properties with the landlord being in control of the freehold company - just keep issuing short leaseholds and wait for the property to revert back to the freeholder or charge the market value for a lease extension.

As a new Welsh landlord I'm amused by the fear of a Labour government, we already have one! It's easy to criticise, but overall its not bad. We may eventually replace the AST with Occupation Contracts one day, whether that will change anything only time will tell. I know I won't be affected as I won't use an AST, there are many other ways to receive a rental income, albeit at the expense of increased borrowing rates. There are plenty of opportunity for landlords, governments only restrict the choice, its up to us to make the most of what's available. As Norman Tebbit famously said of his father "He got on his bike and looked for work, and he kept looking till he found it."
