There is some sympathy on both sides of the House for the idea of allowing small landlords to claim some property tax back in order to make their yield on their properties a little bit more attractive. How would the Minister see that applying to the cuckoo funds who are currently buying properties or the developers who are applying to build massive amounts of build-to-rent properties? How would he square that circle? Has he taken a view of that?
