Yes Debbie what you are saying is quite right. I agree that costs will be passed on along with further costs as letting agents try and maintain their already tight profit margins. The problem is that as soon as the argument cites that Landlords will pass this costs on they are vilified further and consequently lose more support. Is it unfair on Landlords - Yes. Is it illegal/immoral to pay tax on a loss? - Yes. Do people outside of our industry care? - No.

IMO this campaign will not take off nor carry much weight. Although i disagree wholeheartedly with this assault on Landlords it seems the government have chosen their opponent wisely. Media storms of late have criticised government with such things as the bedroom tax and the public have got behind the working parties to lament the "disgusting treatment" of the vulnerable members of our society. Now if you switch the role of vulnerable person to Landlord there will be no pity. Most people believe Landlords live in sprawling estates accessed via tree lined driveways and when 90% of the population feel inferior to the victim then the case is already lost. We as a people often support the little man (and rightly so) however there is no perceived little man in this fight.
