    Turnbull you really are a retard, it's no wonder your sister wants to boot you out.


    Oh dear - This seems to have really got the bears riled

    Never mind chaps, another crash is due in 15 years. Hold on til then!
  • Don't fret OP. It'll not happen here. The property and BTL market is considered way too important by the government. The lenders, BTL groups and developers have the ears of the government, and they'll be screaming into them every day until this is inevitability blocked.

    As I stated before Turnbull, the UK government may have no say on the matter.

    There are people out there (me) with BTL that could easily be financed without rental income being involved. Yes it would keep some people out but surely there'd be a heck of a lot left over.

    Apparently the Council of Mortgage Lenders has seen new amendments to the EU’s mortgage directive which could exempt buy to let mortgages. The European Parliament’s Internal Markets and Consumer Protection committee recently published its report on the proposals, and agrees with the CML that the regulations should not be uniform right across different consumer groups and products.


    In its latest News and Views publication the CML says: “The UK believes it is inappropriate to regulate Buy-to-let under rules designed to protect consumers, and we understand that amendments have now been laid that would exempt this type of lending from regulation under the directive.”

    Then I'm sure they'll be relieved that it isn't happening.

    This sounds like a fantastic piece of legislation coming from the EU for a change. About time to. The UK housing rental market needs to be reigned in.

    I quite agree.

    Seems like the powers that be really don't want a repeat of the last bubble. Who would have thunk it.
