Reply to the comment left by "Bill Morgan" at "19/06/2016 - 17:12": Hi Bill, I suspect that if IO mortgages were removed from the market, then I doubt the BTL model would work at all. Certainly not for new purchases...

I believe this company intends to build new properties which they will then let out? If this is the case then this will be a positive effect and how I would like to see the PRS run. This would seem...

Do you know how many tickets have been sold?

But if it is simple supply and demand, and, as you say, demand is increasing while supply is tight, then why are rental yields falling like a stone over most of the country? Doesn't quite add up? If rents could...

I really hope that you didn't waste too much money on incorporating NW, because I'm not sure even that will keep you safe for very long: https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/tax-deductibility-of-corporate-interest-expense/tax-deductibility-of-corporate-interest-expense-consultation

Most businesses have a plan to pay off the principal DURING the term of the loan. You don't. The strategy you use was not allowed for owner occupier mortgages, and for good reason. Refinancing isn't a solution to paying off...

Sell or refinance? Point proven. No real exit strategy at all. You're speculating on rising house prices, and if that fails, 'refinance' which basically means take on more debt to repay old debt....like a snake eating its own tail

And Richard, As for the go to jail analogy, you have no choice but to pay your debts, you took them on, not the tenant. Don't assume that your tenant will be in the same position- they may have choices...

Well tenants do have a limit to what they can pay, and historically rents have tracked income pretty closely for that exact reason. So unless a few indebted LL's are going to buck the trend, I doubt things will change....
