| 0:00.0 | Hey it's Rob B here with Rob D and it's the Property Podcast and this week, yes, we're |
| 0:08.3 | talking Brexit. Brexit is one subject that everyone seems to have an opinion on and this week we've got opinions |
| 0:15.3 | from multiple investors. Yes, welcome to the Property Podcast, where every Thursday morning investors just like you come together to be informed and inspired. |
| 0:30.0 | You're probably hearing a lot in the media at the moment and wondering what you should be doing about your own investments and wondering what other investors are up to and what they're thinking about everything that's going on. |
| 0:38.6 | Well, wonder no more because we've got three hubbers on the show today talking about exactly what they're thinking and doing. |
| 0:45.0 | So this week we've not got one. We've got two news stories for you. Double dose, so enjoy this. |
| 0:51.0 | First of Rob, it's bad news for one of landlords most hated policies. |
| 0:55.6 | Yeah, which means good news for landlords potentially and good news for those of us who like to see the government brought down a peg or two every so often. |
| 1:01.4 | So the government was taken to the high court over the |

| 1:11.1 | UK because obviously as a landlord you should be involved in border security makes total sense |
| 1:15.0 | Well no actually as it turns out it doesn't because this policy has been found to be |
| 1:19.4 | discriminatory and a breach of human rights laws by the High Court. |
| 1:24.0 | The judge said that the scheme had little or no effect in its main aim of controlling |
| 1:27.8 | immigration and even if it did have any effect it was significantly outweighed by the |
| 1:31.6 | discriminatory effect. |
| 1:33.0 | And he's basically saying that the scheme forces landlords to discriminate against people on the basis of their nationality and ethnicity, |
| 1:40.0 | because they're scared of the fines or the potential prison sentence they'll get if they don't follow the very complicated checks that you're supposed to make. |
| 1:47.0 | And I think he's absolutely spot on. |
| 1:49.0 | The policy is asking landlords to do something that they shouldn't be doing and they're not qualified to do, and I'm |
| 1:53.8 | absolutely convinced that it does lead to discrimination and potentially giving a hard time to people |
