    No 3-year fixed buy-to-let products — across purchase or remortgage — cleared our nightly ingest today. That reflects the market rather than a data gap: BTL lenders publish 3-year fixes intermittently, concentrating ranges at 2 and 5 years. Live alternatives at neighbouring terms are below — the page rebuilds each night as lender books update.

    Three-year buy-to-let fixes cover both purchase and remortgage, but they remain a thin tier in the UK BTL market. Most lenders concentrate their product ranges at 2 and 5 years and introduce 3-year products intermittently, typically when funding conditions or competitive positioning make them worthwhile. The result is that availability fluctuates: these products appear and are withdrawn without announcement, and the table above can be empty for stretches before a fresh batch lands in the nightly ingest.

    When 3-year fixes are available, they occupy an awkward stress-test position. Like 2-year products, they typically attract the harder ICR assessment — pay rate plus 2% or a notional floor around 5.5% — rather than the softer stress applied to 5-year fixes. That means a landlord remortgaging with tight rental yield may find borrowing capacity identical to a 2-year deal despite the extra year of commitment. The appeal is behavioural as much as financial: three years maps neatly onto planning cycles, rent reviews and letting arrangements in a way that two years sometimes doesn’t.

    We ingest the data ourselves

    Most comparison tables license the same third-party panel. We build ours directly from lender product data, run through our own quality-assurance pipeline — so we sometimes list deals other sites miss.

    Refreshed every night

    Every product, every lender, re-ranked nightly. No manually maintained best-buy lists, no stale screenshots of last week's market.

    Mortgages only

    We're the UK's only mortgage-only comparison site. No credit cards, no car insurance — just every flavour of mortgage, done properly.

    Frequently asked questions

    How these tables work, and how to choose between the deals on them.

    01Why are there so few 3-year fixed buy-to-let products?
    BTL lenders have historically concentrated product design at 2 and 5 years, where borrower demand is highest and hedging costs align most cleanly with swap market liquidity. Three-year products exist but are introduced and withdrawn based on funding appetite rather than maintained as a permanent fixture. When they’re available they appear here; when they’re not, the alternatives panel shows the nearest live terms.
    02Is the ICR stress test the same on a 3-year fix as a 2-year fix?
    In practice, yes — most lenders apply the harder notional-rate stress to fixes under 5 years, which includes both 2 and 3-year products. The pay-rate stress that lenders use for 5-year fixes usually doesn’t apply until you cross the 5-year threshold. If borrowing capacity is a concern, it’s worth running the numbers on a 5-year fix alongside any 3-year deal you’re considering.
    03Does this page cover both purchase and remortgage?
    Yes — unlike the purpose-specific leaf pages deeper in the tree, this page aggregates 3-year fixed products across both purchase and remortgage purposes. If you want to compare within a single purpose, use the purpose-specific pages; if you want the broadest view of 3-year pricing across the whole BTL market, you’re in the right place.
    04Are monthly payments interest-only here?
    All BTL monthly payments in our tables are quoted interest-only on a £200,000 loan — the convention the market uses so products are directly comparable. Repayment options are available from most lenders at the same rate; your actual monthly payment will be higher if you choose repayment, but the rate shown here still applies.
    05What’s the closest alternative if no 3-year deals are showing?
    The alternatives panel below the table surfaces the nearest live products — typically 2-year or 5-year fixed deals at comparable LTV bands. Given the ICR stress-test difference between those two, it’s worth modelling both: a 2-year fix at similar rate but harder stress, versus a 5-year fix potentially at pay-rate stress that allows a larger loan.
