The head of the UK's largest property franchise group has
called on the new Housing Minister, Gavin Barwell, to reverse 'punitive tax
policies' in order to increase supply and demand in the rental sector. Dorian
Gonsalves, managing director of 170 branch agency Belvoir, says that George
Osborne's 'disastrous anti-landlord policies' are deterring landlords from
investing in the market. He says the policies are affecting tenants, too, as restricted
rental supply is pushing up rents. Some of the firm's franchises have reported
instances of tenants submitting increased rental offers to landlords without
being prompted in order to try and secure the property of their choice. Read
