    Three-year trackers are a rare combination in buy-to-let. The BTL tracker market is already thin, concentrated at 2-year terms; extending that to three years runs into lender appetite constraints at the same time as low borrower demand. A landlord who wants floating-rate exposure typically takes a 2-year deal for its flexibility, and one who wants longer-term planning typically moves to a fixed product. The 3-year tracker therefore sits in a commercial gap: not flexible enough to beat the 2-year, not certain enough to compete with a 5-year fix.

    The market reality is that lenders withdraw products at this term more often than they introduce them, and the bucket is empty for the majority of the time. This page is built so that any 3-year BTL tracker that enters our nightly lender-data ingest surfaces here automatically. If you need a floating-rate product today, the 2-year tracker is the most likely live alternative; if the rate movement risk concerns you, the 5-year fixed range offers payment certainty and — for most lenders — a softer ICR stress test than any tracker.

    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 3-year BTL trackers rarely available?
    Demand is low and lender product design reflects that. BTL investors seeking flexibility gravitate to 2-year trackers, which offer ERC-free options and a short commitment; those seeking stability prefer fixes. The 3-year tracker occupies neither role clearly, so lenders rarely see enough take-up to justify maintaining the range. Availability has historically been near-zero except during specific competitive periods.
    02What’s the practical difference between a 2-year and 3-year BTL tracker?
    One extra year of floating-rate exposure, with a slightly longer wait before you can move to a fix without penalty — assuming an ERC applies. If the product is ERC-free, the distinction is largely administrative: you have the same flexibility on a 3-year ERC-free tracker as on a 2-year one. Where there is an ERC, that extra year matters if your plans change in month 25 or 26.
    03Would a 3-year BTL tracker have the same ICR stress test as a 2-year tracker?
    Almost certainly yes — lenders assess ICR on trackers using a notional stressed rate above current base, not the pay rate, and this methodology doesn’t typically change based on whether the tracker term is 2 or 3 years. Both are variable-rate products with refinancing exposure, so the stress buffer applied is broadly the same.
    04What are the live alternatives if nothing is showing here?
    A 2-year BTL tracker is the closest floating-rate alternative — you get the same rate-following mechanics, typically with ERC-free options, and a slightly shorter commitment. If you’re willing to move to a fixed rate, a 5-year fixed product is often compelling: it eliminates payment volatility and carries a softer ICR stress test that can unlock more borrowing than any tracker term.
