Landbay and Nottingham Building Society are making significant cuts to their buy-to-let mortgage rates, providing landlords and brokers with new opportunities for more affordable financing. Landbay has reduced rates across various products, while Nottingham will launch new deals tomorrow that are cheaper than current offerings.
What Changes Did Landbay Make to Buy-to-Let Rates?
Landbay’s recent adjustments include cuts across its Premier, Core, and Specialist buy-to-let ranges. The lender has introduced new Specialist products aimed at small houses in multiple occupation (HMOs) and multi-unit freehold blocks (MUFBs). Additionally, Landbay has expanded its Tier 2 criteria, allowing landlords with minor credit issues more access to financing.
How Will Nottingham Building Society’s New Buy-to-Let Deals Impact Landlords?
Starting tomorrow, Nottingham Building Society will unveil limited edition buy-to-let products featuring rates lower than existing deals. This move is expected to enhance competition in the buy-to-let market, offering landlords more options to secure better rates and potentially reducing their overall borrowing costs.
What This Means for Landlords and Brokers in the Buy-to-Let Market

Lower rates can lead to reduced monthly payments, improving cash flow for property investors. Brokers will have a wider array of products to recommend, particularly for those dealing with HMOs and MUFBs, which can be important in a competitive rental market.
