PERG 4.10B.10GRP
A CBTL credit agreement means a contract that meets the following conditions: (1) it meets the definition of a buy-to-let credit agreement in PERG 4.10B.5G; and(2) it is not entered into by the borrower wholly or predominantly for the purposes of a business carried on, or intended to be carried on, by the borrower.
PERG 4.10B.11GRP
(1) PERG 4.4.32G explains when a borrower is regarded as entering into a buy-to-let credit agreement for the purpose of a business carried on, or intended to be carried on, by the borrower.(2) A person administers a CBTL credit agreement if the person carries on administering a regulated mortgage contract in respect of the CBTL credit agreement, or would carry on that regulated activity in respect of the CBTL credit agreement if it was not a person included on the FCA register
PERG 4.10B.12GRP
A person is acting as a CBTL arranger if the person:(1) is not a lender as described in the first row of the table in PERG 4.10B.9G;(2) is not merely introducing, either directly or indirectly, a borrower to a lender or credit intermediary;(3) is acting in the course of the person’s trade, business or profession, for remuneration, which may take a pecuniary form or any other agreed form of financial consideration; and(4) meets one or more of the following conditions:(a) the person
PERG 4.10B.15GRP
(1) The definitions of CBTL arranger and CBTL adviser are largely the same as those under the Mortgage Credit Directive.(2) There is guidance on these terms in PERG 4.10A (Activities regulated under the Mortgage Credit Directive).(3) The main difference between the definitions in this section and those in PERG 4.10A is that this section only relates to CBTL credit agreements.
PERG 4.10B.20GRP
There is another exclusion for buy-to-let contracts in addition to the one in article 72I of the Regulated Activities Order (see PERG 4.10B.1G for article 72I).
PERG 4.10B.21GRP

PERG 4.10B.22GRP
The RAO refers to the contract described in PERG 4.10B.21G as an “exempt consumer buy-to- let mortgage contract”.
PERG 4.10B.23GRP
(1) The exclusion for exempt consumer buy-to-let mortgage contracts has the effect that a person whose business covers exempt consumer buy-to-let lending does not have to consider its position in respect of Part 3 of the MCD Order or consider the exclusion in PERG 4.10B.2G.(2) However, exempt consumer buy-to-let lending is not excluded from the regime in Part 3 of the MCD Order altogether. This is because the Part 4A permission of a firm that has permission to carry out any of
PERG 4.10B.25GRP
Part 3 of the MCD Order does not apply to all mortgage contracts secured on buy-to-let property.
PERG 4.10B.26GRP

5The most obvious example of a regulated mortgage contract is a loan made to an individual to enable the individual to buy a home for themselves where the loan is secured on that home. However, there is no requirement that the borrower should occupy the property. There is a requirement that at least 40% of the land should be used as a house, but no requirement that it is the borrower who uses it as a house. So, for example:(1) a loan may be a regulated mortgage contract if the
