I know - it's from the weekend - but it's interesting and I should have spotted it at the time... FT Adviser takes a look at a Datamonitor report ("Buy-to-Let Morgages and the Rental Sector") about buy-to-let mortgages and the rental sector. It's interesting for two reasons. Firstly, it's bullish (if you're a landlord, less so if you're a first-time buyer), drawing on socioeconomic reasons why the private rental sector will prosper over the next few years. Secondly, there's no mention, whatsoever, of any rush-to-sell, following news of increased Capital Gains Tax. Only this:

The news follows reports that a greater proportion of landlords bought rather than sold properties since the start of 2009.
