Landbay makes major rate reduction to five-year fixed rate product range

09 January 2024

Buy-to-let lender Landbay has kicked off the new year with a major rate reduction across its entire standard five-year fixed rate product range, with rates falling by as much as 0.46%.

The product range now starts at 4.39%, with up 55%, 65% and 75% loan-to-values (LTVS) available. It is available using Landbay’s variable fee structure, which ranges from 3% to 6% for increased affordability.

The lender has also confirmed that all five-year products are stressed at payrate, with a maximum loan size of £2 million – depending on the loan-to-value. Meanwhile, fixed-fee products remain available for lower loan sizes.

The five-year range, along with Landbay’s entire suite of products, is available for intermediaries to view and compare using its upgraded buy-to-let affordability calculator.

Product highlights include:

• Standard five-year fixed rate 75% LTV @ 4.49% with 6% fee (was 4.89%)
• Standard five-year fixed rate 75% LTV @ 5.09% with 3% fee (was 5.49%)

Rob Stanton, sales and distribution director at Landbay, said: “It’s great to kick start 2024 with a sizeable rate reduction across our entire five-year fixed range. In truth, we start the year as we mean to go on – identifying opportunities in the market to make our range as competitive as possible for our broker partners and their landlord clients.

“As landlords continue to navigate the market, it’s really important that we offer a diverse range of products to suit landlords of all sizes and appetites. Our research suggests that five-year products remain a key choice for landlords moving forward, both in terms of affordability and in certainty of costs. We continue to streamline our variable fee structure to keep this important mechanism available for both landlords and brokers, all while reflecting the lower rates we are now working with.”
