RLA

The Residential Landlords Association, has been campaigning tirelessly against the Government's changes to Mortgage Interest Relief, CGT, and, SDLT. Over the past 6 months, we have met many parliamentarians, including Lord Flight, Graham Brady MP, and, David Jones MP to outline just how damaging these changes are, and provide them with evidence from our own and Professor Ball's research. It is clear there is growing disquiet on the Conservative benches as can be seen through the Media:
