They claim it's a mortgage-processing bottleneck but that sounds rather more like a 'plausible' excuse.



And what happens now when a BTLer wants to desert his sinking ship?


If The Mortgage Business dislike BTL then they'll move quicker than normal on sales, I'd imagine.

Why did you say it was HBOS ?

Not just BTL, but also self-certification.

It's likely that they've (finally) cottoned on to first time buyers and Jones' next door neighbours taking out whopping mortgages on the basis of a nod and a wink and are trying to shut the door after the fact.
