A buy to let mortgage is a loan arrangement in which a landlord or investor borrows money to purchase property in the private rented sector in order to let out to tenants. The interest rates and fees are slightly higher than those of owner-occupied mortgages.

@8KMLMVD4yrs4Y
Yes but limit to one property only and full disclosure of tax on all rental income. Failure to show records should result in tax evasion charges.
@9LQXPQH1wk1W
Yes, but we should reform all landlord obligations and the tax they pay, whether the home is occupied or not.
@9LHPW9B3wks3W
Yes, but I only on a capital repayment basis as interest-only buy-to-let mortgages give landlords significantly greater purchasing power than owner-occupiers.
@9L4VP4X1mo1MO
No. I think whoever lives in a property should own it. (Exception should be made for council-managed housing for those with disabilities/retirees. And short-term holiday rentals which should be capped based on need and demand of the area.) All residents should undergo homeowner maintence training before owning a property, and given contact details for certified handymen.
@9FJTBGD7mos7MO
No, housing should be free.
@9FHSMBW7mos7MO
I do not believe in private property.
