Local authorities failed to chase landlords for £7m in unpaid fines
During 2021 and 2023 £13m worth of civil penalties were issued to rogue landlords by councils, but only £6m has been collected so far, according to data from the National Residential Landlords Association (NRLA).
David Churchill, partner at Carter Jonas, explains communities are made up of so much more than just homes and claims experts should be focusing on delivering worthwhile developments rather than constructing properties to meet government targets.
