Corbyn pledges rent controls and a tax on undeveloped land

If Labour gets into power after the General Election, Ed Miliband has pledged to cap rents so they can't rise by more than the rate of inflation over the course of a three-year tenancy.

On the 21st of January 2015 the Deputy First Minister confirmed to the Scottish Parliament that the tax rates on residential property had been reviewed and revised.

The Scottish National Party - potentially in line to become the third largest force at Westminster next month - has pledged its support for a UK-wide mansion tax.
