“We welcome any policy moves to improve the private rented sector but it is important that any powers granted do not jeopardise the buy-to-let market. The private rented sector is a vital component of the UK housing market and policy levers must be used to support the sector in driving additional capacity.
“It is important that the Financial Policy Committee works closely with the sector and uses any powers sparingly and appropriately, and not unnecessarily remove any momentum from the private rented market.”
