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.

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.
@9FHSMBW1yr1Y
I do not believe in private property.
@9PSPG2W9mos9MO
especially for properties being let out at a fair rent 9needs to be policed)...we are too short of housing at the right price.
@9M3675R11mos11MO
No, there’s a massive housing crisis and private rent is already massively unaffordable for the normal working class family
@9LHPW9B11mos11MO
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.
@9L4VP4X12mos12MO
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.
@9FJTBGD1yr1Y
No, housing should be free.
@9D98T732yrs2Y
Yes, but make buy to let unattractive through tax system.
