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.
@9LQXPQH7mos7MO
Yes, but we should reform all landlord obligations and the tax they pay, whether the home is occupied or not.
@9LHPW9B7mos7MO
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.
@9FJTBGD1yr1Y
No, housing should be free.
@9FHSMBW1yr1Y
I do not believe in private property.
@8Z3HYND3yrs3Y
Yes, and lower taxes on landlords to reduce rent payments for tenants.
@9PSPG2W5mos5MO
especially for properties being let out at a fair rent 9needs to be policed)...we are too short of housing at the right price.
@9PLB89V5mos5MO
Yes, but more legislation required on number of houses a person can own. Extremely high tax rates and capital gains when owning 2+ rentals.
