UK.gov just shafted all the landlords with the latest tax changes, so landlord are all going to have to increase rental prices to try to make up for the shortfall. So unless an exit vote results in vastly reduced population (which it won't because UK doesn't have the balls to kick anyone out) expect rental prices to rise as demand for places to live is still high. And then when rental yields are good, the incentive for landlords to buy more property will keep the house prices high - certainly for the lower end of the market... Just another example of where the UK.gov have shafted the entire population in search of a bit of extra tax revenue. Edit: oh and at the same time as trying to make buy2let a non feasible way to save for retirement, the UK.gov have also capped the amount your company can contribute to your pension. Basically the UK.gov are destroying all forms of retirement planning as they want us all to work until we die.... Compare this to European countries, I hope Europe does impose some laws on the UK to force UK.gov to allow us to save for retirement so we can retire early like the rest of Europe.
