The specialist buy-to-let lender, which is institutionally funded revealed it had reduced the rates on the 60% LTV product by 0.14% and on the 70% loan by 0.10%.

It has also expanded its product offering with a new 70% LTV standard five-year fixed rate and reduced the rate for its 75% LTV standard five-year fixed rate.

All the rates are available for loan sizes up to £1.5m and apply to standard properties.

Paul Brett, managing director of Intermediaries at Landbay, said: “Demand for buy-to-let is booming at the moment as investors take advantage of the stamp duty holiday.

“These new lower rates reflect the robust buy-to-let market and help to make it more affordable for investors including those wishing to incorporate their properties into a limited company structure.

“These new rates and additional product will offer more options to intermediaries and their clients who are looking to capitalise on the stamp duty holiday and the high demand for private rental properties.”

Details of the changes are as follows:

Special Edition 60% LTV, standard 2-year fixed rate, down from 3.09% to 2.95%

Special Edition 70% LTV, standard 2-year fixed rate, down from 3.19% to 3.09%

75% LTV, 5-year fixed rate, down from 3.74% to 3.69%

*New* 70% LTV, 5-year fixed rate at 3.59%
