This week’s comment was in response to: The buy-to-let mortgage market got back on its feet in October – Armstrong
Spinmeister said: “Anyone relying on the buy-to-let market for the next year or two will be massively disappointed. Stress rates are out of control.
“Who needs 60 and 75 per cent loan to value (LTV) bands when stress rates mean you’ll be lucky to get a 50 per cent loan?”
