Buy-to-let used to be seen as a gravy train not so long ago; with mortgages cheap and property on the rise, it seemed like easy money for those that had  a few assets and a bit of spare capital.

But the upshot of it is that to many eyes landlords have helped to price many potential first time buyers out of the market. for many getting onto the property ladder just seems like a crazy pipedream.

The previous government administration sought to address this, and has since imposed a series of tax charges on the landlords holding multiple properties. It is also tougher to get a mortgage. These features hope to highlight some of the challenges landlords are facing.
