Starling Bank Annual Report: Fleet Mortgages’ buy-to-let mortgage lending grew by £0.8bn

Following the publication of Starling Bank’s Annual Report, Damian Thompson, our CEO, shares his insights on the important role Fleet Mortgages continues to play within Starling Group.

“We’re proud that Fleet Mortgages continues to be a key driver of growth within Starling Group, with our buy-to-let mortgage lending growing by £0.8bn over the past year to reach £3bn by March 2025. This represents a 33.7% uplift and reflects our continued strength in specialist buy-to-let lending. We believe this is a clear indicator of consistent demand and adviser confidence in our proposition.

“This momentum is especially valuable in a market which has seen a fair degree of volatility and transition. Starling acknowledges in the Annual Report, Fleet’s instrumental role in sustaining its lending growth. Our focused strategy, strong funding model, and emphasis on the provision of mortgage solutions for professional landlords means we’re well positioned to meet the needs of those seeking both portfolio stability and long-term opportunities in the private rental sector. All of this gives us real confidence in our future outlook and positions Fleet strongly for further sustainable growth in the years ahead.”
