The specialist buy-to-let lender will now offer bespoke mortgage products to Positive’s landlord clients, including products for HMOs, multi-unit freehold blocks and expat borrowers.

Stephanie Charman, director of mortgages at Positive Lending, said: “The introduction of Landbay to our mortgage desk panel provides us with access to a tailored and specialist buy-to-let offering which is perfect for advisers looking to assist their landlord clients in a challenging buy-to-let market.”

Positive Lending will now have access to Landbay’s online intermediary portal, which includes features such as case tracking and a property portfolio key.

Paul Brett, managing director intermediaries at Landbay (pictured above), added: “A raft of recent regulatory changes – not forgetting the upcoming PRA portfolio landlord rules – mean that more and more buy-to-let loans now have specialist requirements, and, therefore, usually need a specialist lender to underwrite them.

“It’s vital for us to partner with specialist intermediaries like Positive Lending that have the knowledge, expertise and due diligence processes to work closely with our underwriters in processing complex loans quickly and precisely.”

Landbay recently partnered with Legal & General to work on a point-of-demand insurance service for buy-to-let landlords.

In June, the lender revealed plans to launch a new accounting, reporting and tax compliance service for landlords.
