Surely they must be very wary as the FSA is shining their light directly into this dark corner right now - they had better be very careful!

noone is worried about the FSA
but Kensington is admitting, implicitly, that buying a BTL based on yield alone is not possible anymore
so reaching for one's pocket to subsidize the tenant is the way to go
thank you Kensington, thank you foolish landlord
yours sincerely,
a tenant

I'd go a bit further TBH, it's an admission that BTL has never been about yield, but only capital appreciation (or loss). It should have always been termed BTS - buy to specuLET

SUB PRIME?
(Can't wait for rents to come down so I can move into a nicer, more central place ;))

Sounds like desperation to me. A bit like making a hole in the bottom of your sinking boat to let all the water out.

Long may it continue. I guess I should feel sympathetic, but anyone who's considering subsidising a loss making investment needs a wake up call.

Can I see that someone is going to get a big bonus based on mortgages taken out.
No concern about the loss made by the investor or even the bank in the long run.
Greedy chap will make his money and disappear leaving others to pick up the pieces.
