This a clarion cry to middle-class professional wealthy voters; of All stipes ?
1. 'the previous proliferation of (new) auctioneers; now ceased'.
What is he talking about? I'm only a tenant; but it is obvious that these newly licensed (young) auctioneers, who are now out of business - a main reason might be because they did NOT OWN FREEHOLD of their premises and when business diminished, could not pay the Lease RENT: whereas Mr. Browne's "long-term auctioneers, who have always been Part and Parcel of the town" OWN THEIR OWN BUILDINGS - and so stay in 'businesses' THAT MAKE NO ACTUAL PROFIT. ? Yet, Mr. Browns attributes these as Better than the newer (and younger?) ones.
Anyhow, as a tenant, I don't like ANY of them.
2. About this new 'Property Services Regulatory Authority' which will administer rules about Management and Governance of multi-unit developments.
This should be balanced to the tenants? But will it be? Or just a route for fat-cat investors to avoid paying solicitor's fees; by accessing a tax-payer paid Quango ?
There is a truly evil shift in this country? to a massive bloc of easy-got money Investors, who now intrinsically believe themselves the new 'LORDS'.
