What do the party manifestos mean for the property industry?

admin    Uncategorized     agents

With the 2019 general election just around the corner, the
majority of Britain is focussed on the political sphere as the nation
speculates about how things will pan out on 12 December. All the major parties
have now launched their 2019 manifestos, outlining their key policies and
pledges. Each party’s manifesto presents different potential legislative
changes, which will impact buy to let landlords and the private rented sector
as a whole.

While Brexit has been the major focus for the 2019 election, housing
features prominently in the manifesto policy pledges from all parties. From
Labour’s rent control policies, to the Lib Dems’ Right to Buy reform and the
Conservatives’ ‘lifetime deposit’ scheme; there is a lot for the British public
to consider when it comes to housing that may influence their vote.

Each party’s manifesto has implications for a different
future for the private rented sector in the UK, and those operating within the
industry are making their decisions based on which policies benefit their
values.

Sean Hooker, Head of Redress at the PRS, offers
his insights into how the key party pledges on housing will impact those
involved in the property industry in his reflective article, ‘Promises
promises promises! What do the party manifestos mean for the property
industry?’ Sean provides an overview of the pledges which relate to
the property world that each political party has included in their 2019
election manifesto. He also delves into the key messages from the campaigns and
discusses some of the implications of the main proposals in each manifesto.
