EvilScotsman Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Plastering. Why the f**k did I think doing it myself was a good idea? Also, the number of coats of gloss paint over everything (screws included) in my house. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you say, never ever going to happen. It'd be like parliament agreeing to perpetual pay increases in line with inflation, and to outlaw working in industry after serving in government. Some tax changes a couple of years ago actually made the tax rate on some buy to let profits over 100%, by restricting deductions for mortgage interest. So you can only make money out of buy to let now if you have enough money to buy a higher proportion outright. Keeps the plebs out and protects returns for the chaps, what. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A guy I worked with a few years ago took great delight in telling me how he could get houses for “free”. Enough capital for a small deposit (pre the financial crash), let it out and get tax relief on the repayments. Re-mortgage in a year or so to get your original deposit back. The rent covers the repayments and he’s left with an appreciating asset he’s paid nothing for. I knew a few guys that were doing this back in the day that helped drive up prices to the detriment of the housing market. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's probably helped put the brakes on the market overall, but the distributive effect is to help the wealthy get wealthier easier while stopping moderate savers from accumulating capital. Tory donors, for example, would be largely unaffected. Higher tax on rental profit and capital gains would have done the same but been much fairer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Runs about playing with his pearl-handled machine guns and pistols, trains in his red velvet ring in his garden and mucks about with his speedboat on his lake and has a camouflaged up Rolls Royce.

My point wasn't that people should be enabled to be rentier capitalists. It was that the tories' idea of doing something about rentier capitalism was limited to stopping other people joining in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
