Buy-to-let is one of the biggest domestic risks to the financial system the Bank of England has warned. The Bank’s financial policy committee (FPC) is concerned that the sector has potential to cause a new property crash, with borrowers possibly over-stretched by potential interest rate rises and changes to mortgage tax relief.

We’d like to hear from buy-to-let landlords - and their tenants.

If you are a buy-to-let landlord, are you worried about the stability of the housing market, and the concerns expressed by the Bank of England? How susceptible do you feel to a change in interest rates? Will the changes in mortgage tax relief affect you?

If you are renting from a buy-to-let landlord, does this news worry you? Or do you think that shrinking of the buy-to-let market might even help you get onto the property ladder?

You can share your views by filling out the form below, and we might use them in our ongoing coverage of this sector of the property market.
