Ms Claire Feeney:

We expect to see an increase. During the year, we did the expression of interest, which increased the number of suppliers for mortgage to rent. We hope to have them in place in January to hit the ground running. We expect that there will be an increase. There are still legacy cases. We engage quite regularly with all of the lenders. It is not so much from the high street lenders, because of the loan sales, but the indications from service providers are that they still have substantial numbers, 5,000 to 8,000, from the last round of issues.
