2021 started in the middle of a lockdown and at the time, no one would have wanted to bet on prospects for the immediate future. Fast forward to December and we are delighted to report that Landbay has had an exceptional year.

We were fortunate to have already invested heavily in a fully online process, enabling us to continue working remotely.  We were able to move out of lockdown and provide the products and service to help our introducers really take advantage of the purchasing frenzy helped by the SDLT holiday.

Landbay has experienced another year of strong growth in which we passed the £1billion mark of lending since launch, as well as growing our team, both office and field-based.

We are 11th in the list of the 1000 fastest-growing European companies according to the Financial Times, as well as having been rated 6th in Deloitte’s Technology Fast 50 UK companies, celebrating innovation and entrepreneurship in 2020.

Our introducers have also given us and our proposition a big thumbs up this year in two ways. Firstly, by voting for us at this season’s Awards functions which resulted in our winning a number of major accolades; thank you! Secondly, we are delighted that our service has been much appreciated and as a result our Trustpilot score now stands at 4.8 out of 5.0. Again, thank you.

One of a number of pioneering initiatives this year has been that of delivering green BTL mortgages in the BTL space. We launched our first portfolio in June this year to general acclaim and have continued to refine our offering, as many of our peers are still trying to catch up.

We have also built relationships with new funders, Atom Bank and Allica Bank, this year,  which gives us even more capacity to fund your loans next year.

In 2022, we are not going to rest on our laurels. Product innovation and technology investment to further improve the user experience remains at the heart of our strategy. Our investment in our team also means that you will have the best combination of human and technological expertise to help you write more business in the year ahead.

May I take this opportunity to wish a very Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year to you all on behalf of everyone at Landbay. We look forward to working closely with you in 2022.
