🏠 Opinion | The extent to which young adults’ families now step in to help them access homeownership was initially a consequence of house price inflation. Now it is also likely a cause of it, writes @Victoria_Spratt ➡️ Read her latest newsletter: trib.al/36yWBO4
Should women actually trust the Met police? Last week I sat down with @SadiqKhan to find out what he wants to do, if re-elected as mayor, to make women’s lives in the capital better. Read about it in today’s @theipaper and here inews.co.uk/inews-lifestyl…

HMT reportedly unhappy. Once again…pension funds don’t have to invest in freehold. Throughout history major reforms have inconvenienced the finances of some ppl. Doesn’t mean those reforms were wrong. Britain’s economy is too reliant on rent extraction and house price inflation

£250 cap on ground rents and gradual transition to peppercorn is a big victory for Michael Gove. It’s also probably the scenario that’s least likely to result in a viable legal challenge from freeholders which means the reform cab actually be delivered

Lots of freeholders want to have it two ways - they’re investors who speculate to make money but they’re also happy to argue that the state should regulate the leasehold money so their investments are guaranteed and never fluctuate …. doesn’t quite work like that
Just a thought … but … do we really want people’s pensions to be reliant on the volatile and exploitative business of rent extraction? Would that money be better invested elsewhere? Just a thought. Just thinking.

A stamp duty cut right now would be daft. Might inflate prices artificially at a moment when they are correcting. Hunt himself told the treasury select committee he wasn’t helping first time buyers because there was a risk of negative equity…this policy would carry same risk…
The U.K. and other western governments need a strategy to deal with the increasingly aligned CRINK axis of China, Russia, Iran and North Korea or a world war is inevitable, experts warn - by me, @Richard_AHolmes @DavidParsley50 @theipaper inews.co.uk/news/politics/…

My friend, who works two jobs, is now being forced to negotiate her own rent increase in order to keep the flat she's been in for two years. She's already at the end of her budget & can't take on more work. But if she leaves she can't afford anything in the near area.
