Buy-to-let landlords are set to be hit with new costs from April when a controversial extra 3% stamp duty charge is introduced.

Anyone owning a second property that isn't their main residence and buying another, or replacing the one they don't live in, is likely to get caught up in the changes.

Michael Cook (MARLA), Managing Director of Romans Lettings, comments:
