This is going to happen to a lot of tenants unfortunately. Government seems to think it is a price worth paying for whatever ends it is aiming for (increasing home ownership I presume, via a very convoluted route) It will...

Student accommodation here in York on campus can be £150 a week for an en suite premium room https://www.york.ac.uk/study/accommodation/rooms-prices/ Is that a typical going rate these days ?

Are there any particular lenders that have been found to have T&C's that preclude using the BICT route, or is it something that is mortgage product specific?

In this case I think Jack is likely to be selling up within 18 months and taking any gain tax free. Renting in the meantime, whilst it pretty much will still 'wash it's face' isn't a bad plan. If he...

Neil is right, the market has changed I am sure that if you are big LL (hundreds of properties with <50% LTVs), there are some stunning finance deals to be had out there, with built in headroom and LIBOR +...

Given the phased introduction of S24, there is time for the government to start to examine the effect at 25% / 50% and 75%. It isn't beyond the realms of possibility that the government could decide to freeze the measure...

Ireland isn't the UK of course, so comparisons can only be made in broad terms. However, looking at how S24 is being phased in, there is nothing to stop Gov't from deciding that s 25% / 50% / 75% restriction...

Also, are you doing a piece about the Irish budget? Reversing 's24' and introducing help to buy?

Where do you think rents are heading btw? I first found 118 when searching for info about ASTs and it is a useful repository of information and source of knowledge. I was surprised by the fervour with which btl was...

Reply to the comment left by "Mark Alexander" at "13/10/2016 - 17:52": It wasn't a prediction. I know as much about future prices as anyone else - nothing really. But if it was a prediction, I wouldn't sell for several...

Generally I agree, PRA is eminently sensible. That it won't be applied to existing lending does protect existing borrowers' positions. However, by reducing the amount that can be borrowed for additional purchases, it is clearly designed to work as a...

Reply to the comment left by "Dr Rosalind Beck" at "13/10/2016 - 10:53": I neither relish nor dislike the impacts of S24. At a personal level, I have sympathy for people affected (displaced tenants > affected LLs), but in the...

I have a 100% clear & comprehensive understanding of what S24 means for LLs with high finance costs. It will finish some in a quite brutal way. There will be some spectacular cases involving many £, many properties, many displaced...

BTR has an advantage when land & house prices are high and when planning skews to denser accommodation I have seen claims that more land in the U.K. is used for golf courses than for housing The BTR model of...
