NatWest Group has entered a new partnership with specialist fintech platform for buy-to-let lending, Landbay, as it launches into the limited company buy-to-let mortgage space.
Through this agreement, NatWest Group will fund a new range of mortgage products aimed at professional landlords, marking its first move into this segment. The products will be offered under the Landbay brand, using the company’s established lending platform and broker distribution network.
“This partnership is an important one for our Home Buying and Ownership business,” said Nigel Davey, head of buy-to-let, home buying and ownership at NatWest Group. “Landbay’s industry expertise and market agility enable fast access to the dynamic professional landlord sector.”
The new offering targets professional landlords, a group viewed as central to maintaining high-quality housing stock. By expanding into this market, NatWest aims to strengthen its home-buying proposition while streamlining the mortgage experience for both buyers and intermediaries.
“This represents another step in our growth strategy which aims to make the home buying and ownership experience simpler for buyers and brokers,” Davey added.
John Goodall, chief executive at Landbay, also welcomed the agreement. “This partnership deal is great news for intermediaries and their clients: it will help us broaden our offering to brokers and professional landlords, an important and growing segment of the buy-to-let market – providing them even greater choice,” he said.
“We are really looking forward to partnering with NatWest Group,” Goodall continued. “It’s been great working with Nigel and his team to get the deal off the ground and help them access this market. And it reinforces the reputation Landbay has for originating, underwriting and managing buy-to-let mortgages for other financial institutions. It will be a key driver of growth over the coming years.”
