Paul, I don't disagree that immigration is also a factor. My comment however was focused on the negative opinion of landlords and the reasons for this. It is undeniable that the more investors in the market purchasing multiple properties, the more demand and the more prices are bid up. This ultimately prices some people, mainly younger FTBs out of the market. Matthew, I agree this policy of house building is encouraging but it is yet to be realised. On the other hand help to buy, cheap borrowing, SDLT holiday and the newly announced 5% deposit guaranteed mortgage loans have and will inflate prices. Not to mention the lack of land taxes which might incetivise housebuilders to use land they are sitting on.

The UK has a fundamental housing supply and demand problem. Landlords are a contributory factor and a direct beneficiary of this. House prices are inflated and continue to outstrip wage inflation and rents are also expensive relative to wages. A sizeable portion of renters would have been able to buy were they of a past generation, however now find themselves priced out of the market and paying monthly rent, typically in excess of the equivalent monthly mortgage repayment. The government continues to introduce policies designed to prop up prices, further exacerbating the issue. If there were less landlords demand would fall as would prices enabling an increase in owner occupiers. It is understandable that landlords see property as a good investment, particularly as the government is intent on propping up house prices. It is cognitive dissonance however to pretend this choice does not negatively impact the younger generations. It is therefore unavoidable that a significant proportion of the UK population will have a negative opinion of landlords.
