The lender has also brought out a standard two-year fixed rate at 75 per cent loan to value (LTV) with a six per cent fee.

Highlights of the range include its standard two-year fixed rate at 55 per cent LTV falling from 4.69 per cent to 4.19 per cent. It comes with seven per cent fee.

The firm’s like-for-like remortgage standard two-year fixed rate at 75 per cent LTV with seven per cent fee has decreased from 4.79 per cent to 4.49 per cent.

Rob Stanton, business development director Landbay, said: “Our most recent survey has shown that shorter fixes are increasing in popularity, as landlords weigh up their options in the current market.

“We’re pleased to answer this demand by not only adding additional two-year products, but by making significant rate reductions across our range, including for those with a like for like remortgage.”

He added: “Having the technology in-house to make these decisions allows us to be incredibly agile and respond to the changing market. Our aim is to give our brokers partners more tools at their disposal to meet the requirements of their clients.

“As remortgage remains a key driver for business, I’m sure the news of rate reductions, in addition to a softer stress test will be very welcome.”
