In CeMAP Module 3, the regulation of consumer buy-to-let lending is associated with which directive year?

• A. 2015
• B. 2014
• C. 2010
• D. 2008

Answer: (A)

The regulation of consumer buy-to-let lending is tied to the Mortgage Credit Directive (MCD). This EU directive was adopted in 2014 to harmonise rules for consumer credit across member states, including mortgages and related loans. It means buy-to-let loans offered to individuals as consumers are treated as consumer credit contracts and must follow the MCD rules on affordability assessments, responsible lending, and clear disclosures. While the UK implemented these rules in the following years, the directive itself is from 2014, which is why that year is the correct association. The other years do not reflect the year of the MCD’s adoption.
