Details of a complaint made to Statistics.Gov.Uk by Property118 member Owen O’Neil
Dear Sir/Madam,
I would like to make a complaint about simplification of the context of statistics to the point...
"It is too early to know definitively, but it appears that these changes have halted the growth of the buy-to-let sector"
Well the English housing survey for 2017-18 (which is based on lagging data 12-18 months old) is already reporting a reduction in the size of the PRS after a decade of consistent growth - whilst we might want to wait until Jan 2020 for the 2018-19 survey, I'd class it as pretty close to definitive already.

For the same reason (avertising overload) it needs some attractive "homely" image to grab attention, just text alone isn't attractive enough in our visually saturated world (but not to the level of distracting from the text)... Read More
the url is short enough to remember - but the point is it gets "tenant tax" as a phrase into people's brains - whereas the old one was just too many words for anyone to retain any single part of it.... Read More
New one - but I'd say that the rising rent should be first line item and big - axe the tentant tax being second and smaller than the first line. - makes it more personal.... 'campain details...' is redundant.

Has anyone else felt distressed, alarmed or harassed by the content of the Guardian article ? - or worried that this ratcheting up of anti-landlord sentiment will result in harm coming to them ?

How long between the alleged incident and the T trying to start a claim ?
(not saying they have exceeded the time limit - but a court would ask why there was a delay)
