been reading this morning about the new caps coming in next april.
the most any claimant will get weekly is £.400 for a 4 bed house, £.340 for a 3 bed house, £.250 for a 1 bed property.
seems very high to me and obviously costing the tax payer a small fortune, the problem is in london and other major hubs the market rates are higher.
landlords will not reduce rents because they know that they can get the full whack from well paid professionals.
now here is the rub, london councils have been procuring bed and breakfast accommodation in locations that are cheaper.
hastings has already been mentioned.
this will mean that 82,000 families will be relocated all over the place, a total of 200,000 people.
we have enough landlords locally that will be licking their lips at the prospect of getting revenue from their otherwise uninhabitable properties.
