Ben and Richard are joined by HMO landlord and podcaster Andy Graham, and consumer champion and financial journalist Sarah Davidson, who discuss how the proposed changes will affect landlords and tenants. We also hear from John Blackwood, Chief Executive of the Scottish Association of Landlords (SAL), who discusses how legislation change in Scotland has affected the rental market north of the border and the impact that has had on supply.
