Company overview

Landbay was originally launched in 2014 as an online peer-to-peer lending platform enabling investors to invest in the United Kingdom's buy-to-let mortgage market. The business model matches investors' funds to buy-to-let mortgages, thus all loans are secured by residential real estate. [2][3] When the company launched, both Landbay worked with both individual and institutional lenders, however in 2019 Landbay stopped allowing individual investors to use its services and has since been institutionally funded only.[4][5]

As of November 2021 Landbay had completed over £1B of mortgages and continues to invest in the mortgage funding, technology, underwriting and operational capacity to grow significantly in this £250bn market. Landbay has a broad funding base with Retail Banks, Investment Banks and Asset Managers resulting in strong diversification with loans funded via securitisation capital markets and via bank deposits.[6][7][8] Landbay has whole of market intermediary coverage with the major broker networks & clubs partnering with them.[9]
