• My experience of dealing with big business is that its horrible almost all the time. Small companies can be great and can be horrible. Maybe my perception is unrepresentative, but if the problem is customer service and the general public's solution is "we need massive corporates" then the general public are a bit weird.

    Housing associations have mostly been an excellent thing, maintaining good relationships with their tenants. That's degrading now, under government pressure, but the principle is sound.

    In my opinion the problem is not small landlords, it is the entire property market.

    The fundamentally feudal nature of property law here is malign.

    Property law in England and Wales hasn't been fundamentally feudal since the statute of Quia Emptores in 1290 which ended the practice of subinfeudation and required the alienation of land to take place by substitution instead.
