Or would the insanity of the bubble result in them just holding onto them and seeing the appreciating value as a replacement for rental income?
That would involve BTL landlords not having mortgages to pay, which I can't imagine being the case.

Well the main problem is that they always keep your deposit so they can do a free refit, they hire a pro cleaning service for a full treatment even if you have done an great spring clean (which i gave up bovering on years ago when i realised how pointless it was) then they get the painters and decoraters to give it a once over and thats your deposit gone. cunts.

This is hilariously illegal btw - and if you ever take them to arbitration they'd be hosed unless you were a disgusting wreck of a pig, but they tend to run under the assumption that renters, especially renters who are busy moving, don't have the time or money to be able to fight their case. Never ever deal with an estate agent who's not a member of ARLA - this is a sign that they're the sort of estate agent who specialises in having batshit insane landlords on the books (the ones who are totally happy to bend the law until it breaks because tenants are filthy scum who'll bilk an honest landlord wherever possible)

Lib Dem parliamentary fucks have pissed away Portsmouth Council and it looks like it'll be a UKIP/Tory coalition.

Surely that had gently caress-all to do with "Lib Dem parliamentary fucks" and everything to do with the Mike Hancock love in that the local party had going on? It's been national news for a good long time (if Private Eye counts as "national news" that is)

Don't think it will happen though, for all this talk of the lib dems being 'annihilated' I reckon they still will remain as the third political force in this country.

Lib Dem MPs tend to be very VERY good at constituency matters which means they tend not to lose their seats unless it's revealed they are monsters or else there's been some fairly obvious illegal stuff from opponents (There's no way that Zac Goldsmith's spending in Richmond Park was legal and even then he was running against the party's most ineffectual MP)
