| There are two million buy-to-let landlords in the private sector. |
| The rental sector remains highly fragmented, made up mainly of individual landlords who each own a small number of buy-to-let homes. |
| Easy access to buy-to-let mortgages for professional investors has been blamed by critics for making it harder for others to buy their own homes. |
| Many pensioners could even use their pots to invest in buy-to-let properties which could stoke future house price bubbles. |
| As house prices continue their increasing prices, more are being bought by buy-to-let landlords. |
| According to the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, the buy-to-let boom is continuing unabated. |
