One shocking part of the report points to it having cost taxpayers almost £1 million to weed out a single rogue landlord, that's if we presume they haven't been able to just have a relative register instead to rent out their property.
Can the Government really see value in rolling out a similar scheme in England?
• 162, 503 applications for Landlord Registration Received
• Only 19 landlords have had their registrations either refused or revoked over the almost 4 years of the scheme’s operation
• No unregistered landlords referred to the Procurator Fiscal
• C. £16.7M spent
• Variation over Local Authorities of both engagement with the sector and effectiveness of enforcement
• Landlord demand for training/advice – an equivalent spend on this would be likely to have a greater effect on raising standards in the sector
