"House prices set to plunge" (Argus, May 21). They will not, even though most local pundits seemed to agree in that article.
The problem is that many "sideline" or non-professional landlords are now selling while prices are so high. This is causing an increased shortage of rented accommodation in Brighton and Hove.
The problem is exacerbated because prices are so high it is difficult to even pay the interest on a buy-to-let scheme, let alone repaying any capital.
Our members' problem is that they can't expand their property portfolios as the figures are now not stacking up.
