How Will The New Buy To Let Tax Rules Affect Your Buy To Let Portfolio?
New Buy To Let Affordability Rules come into force on January 1st 2017. Set by the Prudential Regulation Authority, they will impose new minimum affordability thresholds on Buy To Let lenders. These thresholds are designed to ensure that you can continue to afford the mortgage payment and make a 25% profit should rates rise to 5.5%.
This means those looking to add to their portfolio or looking to switch a Buy To Let mortgage to another lender may find it difficult unless their rental yield can meet the new rules.
