Strongly agree

Yes, but reduce tax evasion by landlords

The DUP has shown support for measures to reduce tax evasion and ensure that everyone pays their fair share of taxes. In 2017, the party supported the UK government's Finance Bill, which included measures to tackle tax avoidance and evasion. Therefore, they would likely agree with allowing buy-to-let mortgage loans but with measures to reduce tax evasion by landlords.

No, buy to let mortgages lead to inflated housing prices

While the DUP has not specifically addressed the issue of buy-to-let mortgages leading to inflated housing prices, their general support for free market principles and private property rights suggests they would be unlikely to agree with this statement. However, they may be open to discussing potential negative consequences of buy-to-let mortgages.

Disagree

No

As mentioned earlier, the DUP generally supports free market principles and private property rights.
