Thank you for your comment but did not miss understand at all. I think it you that miss understands the bigger picture. As interest rates rises and landlords are being taxed on the rent and unable to offset the mortgage charges they will find themselves in a situation where the is not enough left to cover the mortgage which will force them to sell to survive. Then they will be forced to pay more CGT and the government benefits.
Example £700 rent, higher rate tax @28% £196 leaves £494. Less insurance cost, mortgage costs and repair costs. Many landlords on SVR will be pushed into a loss making situation. Then they have huge costs coming to ensure EPCs comply with a rating of a C at a aversive cost of £10,000. Sorry but no business can survive in these situations and will be forced to sell 100%
