Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 137 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers consistently praise the service, staff, and customer service, highlighting their helpfulness, efficiency, and proactive approach. Many appreciate the smooth and streamlined processes, with particular mention of quick response times and effective communication from various teams, including underwriters and BDMs. Conversely, some people were dissatisfied with the product and response time. A few customers reported issues with product transfers being overly complicated or experiencing delays in mortgage redemption due to staff training. There were also concerns about unprofessional and patronizing communication from an adviser during a call, and in one instance, a very poor service experience during a product transfer, leading to a client being charged a higher rate.

We had to abandon the application because due to a delay in the clients getting the latest year's tax calcs from their accountant they passed your deadline for securing the rate and keeping the application going. Your new rates are far less competitive. Other lenders do not have these deadlines and would have honoured the rate we thought we had secured for the client. Now we have to apply with a new lender.

Excellent Service from Landbay!

David Rann has been very proactive in the processing of this mortgage. It has not been a straight-forward case, but his expertise has been central to getting a very quick mortgage offer.

Great Support

We have recently regularly been using Landbay to place 6 bed HMO mortgages. Our client is a portfolio landlord (lots of experience with several lenders!) and always comments on how sleek Landbay's user experience is. More importantly as a broker the BDMs, underwriters and completion officers make the process of working with Landbay very simple. We can get in direct contact with everyone directly which helps massively to save time. Big thanks to Sam Waterhouse, Scott Thomson and Gareth Powell. Will have a new case for you all this week!

A great experience!

The excellent service from Luke Cassidy made sure the case went to offer in 11 days. This was only delayed by the wait for a valuation appointment. Luke's communication was first class.

Glenn Shipman has been absolutely fantastic on our cases – he has been patient, diligent and it's not often I’m so impressed with an underwriter that I have wanted to leave a review!

Intermediary Service

I only have one thing to say to Land Bay...

Charlotte Higgs from the intermediary team deserves not only a pay rise, a promotion, and commendation, she also deserves the utmost recognition from her higher ups.

I've been a commercial broker for several years now and it's rare that I'll leave a review of a lenders services. However, it would be a grave injustice if I were not to leave a review of the ABSOLUTELY lovely experience that I've had from Charlotte today.

After being let down by another lender who sung their own praises about being "able to do the case" and "Yeah, sure no problems". Charlotte took the time to assess the case, speak with underwriting, explain what would be asked for and her product knowledge on the rates/requirements was bang on, she even informed me of the potential valuation data being slightly skewed due to recent refurbishment work on the property that I was discussing with her.

It's great to hear how much you enjoyed working with Charlotte and have passed this on to her and the team.

We hope to work with you again soon!

Exactly what brokers want from a lender

From initial guidance by Rahead Hussein BDM to tell us we could do this, through to the clear and efficient underwriting by David Francis (kudos David, you were a pleasure to work with), ending up with a really happy portfolio landlord client; I have to say this organisation is great to work with!

Placed a deal with them (Ltd Co HMO BTL) for my clients which all went very smoothly. Was able to communicate directly with the underwriter, which speeds things up no end. Instructions from my broker contact re how to submit the case were all very clear. Very good and on the ball throughout.

Outstanding Support...

We've used Landbay before, as a Brokerage and always been happy with the service.

On this occasion, this was no different, with outstanding support from the Underwriter - Simrat Gill.

The case was far from straight forward, but we experienced a smooth process from our initial discussion with our dedicated contact Paula Dawson, through to Offer,
