Reforms to buy to let mortgage market impacts smaller-scale landlords.
Since the wide-ranging reforms to buy to let mortgages were introduced, it’s the smaller-scale landlords who are being hit the hardest.
During the last year, landlords have been subject to:
- the introduction of tougher stress tests
- the possibility of limits being put on what landlords can borrow
- reduction of tax relief on mortgage interest repayments
- higher stamp duty charges on additional properties
