Lloyds Banking Group, which provided 60 per cent of all buy-to-let mortgages last year, has annouces that it is to cut maximum lending to landlords to a fifth of what the bank was willing to advance in 2009
As report in the Telegraph
This is an interesting development, just as things really begin to turn downwards. Lloyds looks like being the first (and largest in this sector) lender to pull the plug on BTL.
No more selling through brokers as too much fraud.
No more than 3 properties in a portfolio, higher than this is too risky.
Will other lenders will follow there lead?
