RE: Why is the British government cracking down on Buy-to-Let landlords?
Yes - quite likely corporate landlords will snap up the properties. But if they manage their risks better (lower loans to value), then that de-risks the whole property market.
true but with rent's so high it can't be a good thing for tenants. the market needs to burst at some point it just depends on how long they can keep artifically inflating it for.
Corporate landlords also have to pay the extra 3% stamp duty over and above normal stamp duty. So that should dampen their activity a bit. I guess we'll have to see. If the market doesn't cool, the govt will likely try something else!
