Jim Shannon: To ask the Secretary of State for
Communities and Local Government, what steps he is taking to monitor availability of homes in the Buy to Let
category in the UK.
Brandon Lewis: Analysts in my Department monitor the buy
to let market on a regular basis. Their analysis and estimates for the sector are based on data
the Department has purchased from the Council of Mortgage Lenders. This is a
private database with commercial in confidence data. Officials in my Department
also have a wide range of meetings with lenders (both professional bodies such
as Council for Mortgage Lender and Building Society Association) to monitor the
buy to let market.
