From April 1st the tax ring-fence for rental property losses needs to be accounted for by investors.

John Paynter: Some thoughts on ring-fencing rental losses from the landlord's perspective
There is the widespread belief that residential landlords make large profits with minimal effort and negligible risk. This is quite untrue.
