Intended to inform the 2008 government-initiated review and policy-making process, this collection of essays addresses the major challenges facing both small and large landlords, and what can be done to bring new, affordable private rented properties onto the market. Examines the key underlying market trends and takes a critical look at the way the sector is funded. Recommendations range from the development of investment vehicles to fiscal incentives and tighter regulation. Concludes that while a range of stakeholders have a role to play, a future vision and strategy for the sector must be created.
