Buy-to-let remortgage searches increased 8% annually in January, indicating that landlords continue to reassess borrowing arrangements, Twenty7Tec analysis shows.
Total searches from advisers reached 291,468, down 4% from January but still 2% higher than February 2025.
In the residential space remortgaging is even more key for advisers, as searches for remortgages were 19% higher year-on-year in February.
There were 688,053 remortgage searches from advisers, which still represents a reduction of 9% from January.
Nathan Reilly, chief customer officer at Twenty7tec, said the data suggests the market is moving from the early-year surge into a steadier pattern of activity.
“February’s figures suggest the market is settling into a more typical rhythm following the strong rebound in adviser activity at the start of the year.
“While search volumes have moderated slightly month on month, the fact activity remains higher than this time last year highlights the continued resilience of adviser demand.”
Across the market as a whole, total mortgage searches reached 1,814,583 in February 2026.
This represents a 4.6% decrease compared with January, following the seasonal surge in activity seen at the start of the year.
However, search volumes were still 3.6% higher than February 2025, highlighting continued adviser engagement with the market.
