The Times - Buy-to-let investors decide it’s not as grim up north
British buy-to-let investors spent £12.1 billion on property purchases in the first half of this year, £5.2 billion less than in the first half of 2015. This is according to analysis of HM Revenue & Customs statistics by Hamptons International.
Aaron Strutt, of Trinity Financial, told The Times: “The stamp duty changes and tax hikes have certainly hit the market hard and seem to have put more landlords off buying than Brexit uncertainty.”
