Tackling the housing crisis

Sir, – So Adrian Mulryan has found the solution to the housing crisis, with all defaulting "amateur" landlords to be forced to sell ( June 4th). Whether "professional" landlords must meet the same fate is less clear. No mention, of course, of the responsibilities of the banks and government which led to such an unprecedented property crash. It would appear that in Mr Mulryan's world the investor should take the hit regardless of the consequences or the circumstances. If only it were so – banks and unsecured bond holders anyone? – Yours, etc,
