Private landlords faced quite a few changes in the last 18 months. Extra 3pc stamp duty on the second house purchase to changes to mortgage interest relief. I’m afraid there is another change coming into effect from Oct-17 for the portfolio landlords.

Portfolio landlords could soon face an administrative nightmare to get a buy-to-let mortgage as new regulations are set to come into force.

The new buy-to-let rules from the Bank of England will apply from October 1 and will demand a tougher stance from lenders assessing landlords who own four or more buy-to-lets.

From this date, landlords applying for a buy-to-let mortgage will have to provide information to the lender on every single property in their portfolio - even if the mortgage application is for just one of them.

Why do we need them?

When you apply for a buy-to-let mortgage from October, if you are a portfolio landlord you'll need to provide financial information on every property in your portfolio to the lender.
