The councils didn't want to do this; it was Maggie and her right wing Conservative government that forced them to do so.
As such, doing the same to private landlords would just be balancing things.
a) Stealing from landlords
"balance"
b) The original theft from the taxpayer.
Apart from the fact that a small number of those landlords might have been beneficiaries of the original theft (for certain types of properties in certain areas only). In most cases the same people are being stolen from twice - hardly balancing anything (expect the books of a a soon-to-be-bankrupt country)
Makes no sense whatever

Not that that means that I would approve of forcing sale below market price, but then isn't covered by the human rights courts, which are in Europe....

Feeling a bit cornered where a labour government could effectively steal my pension! In the article by the independent they were talking about forced sale below market value.
With the removal of s21 I was waiting until my tenant leaves before selling, but maybe this needs to be accelerated! 😐
Unlike sellers of other investments, estate agents aren't regulated to give investment advice.

If all this Brexit madness brings along a Labour govt then we as landlords truly are stuffed, i read an article on this and watched McDonnell i think it was who see's nothing whatsoever wrong with taking someone else's asset and giving it (well at a discount) to the poor and down trodden, i can see a real sell off of rentals if they do come into power which will make the recent tax changes etc look like child's play. I will be keeping my options open on this but for me there is no god damm way that some lefty toe rag is going to dictate if and whom i sell my properties too.

Just get a precautionary possession order if you are concerned guys. Then you can evict tenant any time in the next six years.

We are seeing a lot of it at the moment, would you believe anything said today by any politician or political commentator? It will probably be different tomorrow.
I personally, (from the work I used to do) know that the BBC put out a false news story yesterday, I'm guessing as a political distraction.
And I'm not talking about the 2-headed snake or the 73 year old woman giving birth to twins. (Yes, both on the BBC yesterday).
Wait until something happens before shouting about speculation.

by gkasusI am a first time landlord. Appreciate anyone's help on the interpretation of the termination clauses for my fully managed let property. The tenancy agreement started in 2017 for 1 year and then went into periodic to now. Tenancy is still active.
The current contract is quite explicit...-

Hi
I am at my wits end. Moved in to a property on a 6 month AST. Moved in September.
From the day I walked it it's been a nightmare. As I came through the door there was water coming through the ceiling and it just got worse...
I will keep it short

There's no implied right of access for that purpose, so there would have to be an explicit providing in the tenancy agreement before the landlord had any contractual right. However, if you refuse access, the landlord cannot enter, even if he can subsequently sue you for breach of contract, or at least...

I think I have possibly removed my comment accidentally as I am not familiar with this site.
The LL has arranged for a letting agent to call round this week and I was asking if I am obliged to let them come and take photos etc to re market the property for when we are gone. Given the outstanding...-

by Jon66If you have documented everything and have photos and email evidence, and if it is that bad, you could probably leave asap as your ll has committed a repudiatory breach of the tenancy agreement. As another poster said, speak to environmental health who can issue hazard notices compelling the landlord...
