Zac Goldsmith manifesto goes quiet on letting agent fees

London’s Tory mayor candidate Zac Goldsmith has published his ‘back Zac’ manifesto.

Calling it a Living Environment manifesto, it says remarkably little about his housing policies.

If elected, he would build 50,000 homes a year by 2020, ensuring the development is in keeping with the local area.

He would give Londoners the first chance to buy new homes.

And he would ensure that a “significant proportion of all news homes” are built for rent, and not for sale.

Most of his manifesto centres around his ‘green’ beliefs, including promising that local communities would be encouraged to ‘adopt a verge’, while London schools would be twinned with rural farms.

It says nothing on rent controls or letting agent fees, despite having apparently described these as almost a scam.
