Landbay has announced a second round of rate reductions in just over a week, taking advantage of the falling swap rates in the money markets.

The specialist buy to let lender has cut its rates by up to 0.30% across its two and five-year fixed rate products, offering some of the lowest rates in the market.

The rate reductions apply to its standard fixed rate mortgages, which start from 4.39% for two years and 4.79% for five years.

The reductions also cover its Like-for-Like remortgage products, which start from 4.49% for two years.

These products feature an interest cover ratio (ICR) stress test at payrate plus 1%, instead of the standard payrate plus 2%, making them more affordable for borrowers.

‘Money markets are continuing to see swap rates fall’

Landbay’s business development director, Rob Stanton, said: “The money markets are continuing to see swap rates fall, enabling us to lower our rates accordingly.

“We always try to be as competitive as we can and these new rates are the lowest they have been in some time, with many under 5%.”

He added: “We are hopeful that the Bank of England will hold steady on base rate with no more increases as inflation continues towards its 2% target.

“That should mean swap rates will also remain lower and therefore we will be able to drop our rates again in the coming months.”

Lowered its rates for small houses in multiple occupation

Landbay has also lowered its rates for small houses in multiple occupation (HMOs) and multi-unit freehold blocks (MUFBs), which start from 4.69% for two years and 5.59% for five years.

These products are available for both first-time landlords and trading companies, catering to a wide range of buy to let investors.

Landbay’s products have variable fees, allowing borrowers to choose the option that suits their needs and preferences.

The product highlights:

  • Standard five-year fixed rate 75% LTV starts from 5.05%
  • Like for Like standard remortgage two-year fixed rate 70% LTV starts from 4.59%
  • Small HMO/MUFB two-year fixed rate 75% LTV starts from 4.69%
  • Small HMO/MUFB five-year fixed rate 75% LTV starts from 5.59%.
