repeated hard credit checks for mortgage- seem right?

The OP is everything that’s wrong with the current market.
3 houses that could be bought by first time buyers, or anyone else, taken off the market so they can fill their own pockets.

3 houses that people who would never be able to qualify for a mortgage will now be able to live in. The houses don't just magically disappear because a BTL landlord buys them. They're still going to be a home for someone.

Given that there's no secret black market for landlords only anyone could have bought those three houses as they were on the open market. Given that nobody else did then I fail to see the issue. Do those houses just sit there empty denying someone the opportunity of a home just to satisfy loonie lefties like yourself?
