Best mortgage rates · Buy-to-let · July 2026

    5-year tracker buy-to-let remortgage rates, variable for five years, almost never offered.

    Five-year BTL tracker remortgage products are rare — landlords wanting variable-rate exposure typically use 2-year trackers or lifetime products. This page re-ranks nightly.

    No 5-year tracker buy-to-let remortgage products are available today. This reflects the BTL market, not our data coverage — lenders rarely offer tracker products at this term, as the combination of variable rate and 5-year commitment doesn’t fit how landlords typically use tracker mortgages. This page re-ranks nightly; the closest live alternatives are shown below.

    A 5-year tracker would combine the variable-rate exposure of a tracker with a fixed product horizon — but it’s not a combination the BTL market tends to offer. The commercial tension is straightforward: the main attraction of a tracker is that the landlord can exit when it suits them (most trackers have no ERC), yet a 5-year product term implies a commitment that cuts against that flexibility. Where residential borrowers occasionally find 5-year trackers, BTL lenders don’t commonly price them because the use case is inconsistent with how landlords actually manage variable-rate exposure.

    Landlords seeking variable-rate BTL remortgage options in practice use either a 2-year tracker — the most active part of the BTL tracker market, often ERC-free — or a lifetime tracker that follows the base rate indefinitely. The 5-year fix remains the dominant remortgage product for landlords who want a longer horizon, benefiting from pay-rate ICR stress rather than the loaded test applied to shorter terms. If no 5-year tracker products are listed here, the alternatives below reflect where the live market actually sits.

    Frequently asked questions

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

    01Why isn’t there a 5-year BTL tracker remortgage market?
    Product design reflects what landlords actually want from a tracker. Flexibility — particularly the absence of early repayment charges — is the primary reason to choose a variable rate. A 5-year term constrains that flexibility, creating a product that’s neither fully flexible (like a lifetime tracker or 2-year ERC-free deal) nor providing the stress-test advantage of a 5-year fix. Most lenders have concluded there isn’t sufficient borrower demand to justify pricing a 5-year BTL tracker range.
    02What is a lifetime BTL tracker and how does it compare?
    A lifetime tracker has no fixed end date and usually no ERC — you pay base rate plus the lender’s margin for as long as you keep the mortgage, and you’re free to remortgage at any time. It gives full variable-rate exposure without a countdown. The margin above base is typically a touch higher than on a 2-year tracker, reflecting that the lender doesn’t get the repricing opportunity a fixed term provides. For long-term variable exposure, it’s usually the most practical option available.
    03Does a 5-year tracker get the same ICR stress benefit as a 5-year fix?
    No. The pay-rate ICR stress advantage that applies to 5-year fixed products is tied specifically to the product being a 5-year fix — it reflects lenders’ confidence in the payment stability a fixed rate provides. Tracker products, being variable, are typically stress-tested at a loaded rate regardless of the nominal term. So a 5-year tracker (if one were offered) would not automatically inherit the stress advantage that makes 5-year fixes the preferred remortgage route for tightly covered BTL loans.
    04If I want a variable BTL remortgage rate with a longer horizon, what are my options?
    A lifetime tracker is the most direct substitute — variable, typically ERC-free, and with no set end date. Some lenders also offer discount-rate products (a discount below their standard variable rate rather than a margin above base), which function similarly. If the ICR numbers work comfortably and you want to retain flexibility over multiple years without the ERC exposure of a fix, a lifetime tracker priced against the 5-year fix alternatives is worth modelling.
