    If we had a proper government in power all BTL slum landlords would have to pay at least 10% interest per year.

    this is good news to see rates dropping even further - i'm having to re-mortgage shortly and these new rates will do wonders .

    same rent for less repayments on my BTL mortgage = higher return for me :)

    Chuckie, I hadn't really fancied this BTL lark, seemed like to much hassle, I may change my mind however as there seems to be some easy returns to be made.
    Any tips? :j
