    On forums such as this I well remember poster after poster claiming BTL operators would be wiped out. In reality their businesses are positively thriving.

    Excellent news for the economy.

    Lets not forget those using residential mortgages to support BTL such as myself. No need to be "wink wink" about it Conrad. Should imagine thats a fair few.

    Nice to see geneer not understanding the article as usual. Get yourself down Greggs son.

    Good news for renters. More rental properties = more competition.
    Faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
