Lenders and networks must do more to make sure brokers are equipped for challenges facing the buy-to-let market, a leading estate agency and network has warned.
The buy-to-let sector has seen plagued by challenges of late including reforms to stamp duty and a turn-down in buy-to-let property applications.

He added that whist lenders' appetites have shifted following stamp duty changes earlier in the year networks have a duty to meet challenging times by helping close the skills gap.
