A financial specialist has won the latest round of a
legal battle with a mortgage company which he says could affect around a
million people who own buy-to-let properties. Mark Alexander, a former mortgage
broker who has set up an advice website for landlords, says he was unfairly
asked to pay more for a buy-to-let mortgage because the West Bromwich Mortgage
Company classed him as an investor, not a consumer. He asked Court of Appeal
judges to analyse his claim after losing a fight in the High Court. Appeal
judges ruled in his favour after analysing evidence at a hearing in London. The West Bromwich had said customers with three or more
buy-to-let properties were not ''regarded as consumers''. Read more on the
Daily Mail website.
