Strongly agree

Yes, but reduce tax evasion by landlords

The Liberal Democrats have a history of advocating for measures to reduce tax evasion and improve housing affordability. In their 2017 manifesto, they proposed measures to reduce tax evasion by landlords, such as increasing council tax on second homes and buy-to-let properties. This suggests that they would likely agree with allowing buy-to-let mortgage loans but with measures to reduce tax evasion by landlords.
