[Closed] Torie: 20% equity loan to buyers of new homes

I just read the UK Treasury piece on the EU mortgage regulatory regime. It does NOT say the EU is trying to ban BTL. Currently BTL lending is not regulated as a consumer product as the landlords are treated as professionals. The EU wants these loans to be subject to more consumer (ie landlord) protection/regulation but the UK Treasury thinks this is unecessary and intends to draft laws/rules which mean The UK complies with the EU rules but that in practice little changes. IMO the headline from the Telegrapgh is just "sensationalist" to grab attention.
