Strongly agree

No, buy to let mortgages lead to inflated housing prices

The Green Party would likely agree with this statement, as they have expressed concerns about the impact of buy-to-let mortgages on housing affordability. For example, in their 2019 General Election Manifesto, they called for measures to reduce the dominance of buy-to-let landlords in the housing market, which they believe contributes to inflated housing prices and a lack of affordable homes for first-time buyers.

Agree

Yes, but reduce tax evasion by landlords

The Green Party would likely agree with this statement, as they have called for measures to reduce tax evasion and increase transparency in the housing market. In their 2019 General Election Manifesto, they proposed a Land Value Tax to replace Council Tax and Business Rates, which would help to reduce tax evasion by landlords. However, this statement does not address their broader concerns about the impact of buy-to-let mortgages on housing affordability and the environment.

No

The Green Party may partially agree with this statement, as they have expressed concerns about the impact of buy-to-let mortgages on housing affordability and the environment. However, they have not explicitly called for a complete ban on these loans, so their agreement with this statement would not be strong.

Disagree

Yes

The UK Green Party is generally concerned about the negative effects of buy-to-let mortgages on housing affordability and the environment. While they may not be completely against the concept, they would likely advocate for more regulation and oversight to ensure that these loans do not contribute to housing inequality and environmental degradation.
