Hi. I think the LW rates are still very good. Three factors to consider:
1) Very strong provision fund and insurance coverage for defaults. Personally speaking I've had no losses for 12 months although of course capital and interest are at risk
2) If you are investing via an IFISA you are not paying tax on interest received. This could effectively put up to 3% on your return % compared with taxable lending if you are a higher rate tax payer
3) LW move rates around by small amounts fairly frequently. They recently went up so I don't see this movement as a big deal on a trend basis.
I think it's good rates have dropped as it shows LW are monitoring the market and their books closely.
Hope this helps as food for thought...

Lending Works put the rate down for the 5 yr. Growth Street have been constantly dropping their rates by 0.1% approximately every 14 days for the past six months!

Landbay update every 3 months and I think the next update is Jan 18 by which time rates could be back down to 0.25% again!

True but may slow the amount of money going in while people wait on the 5 year product just in case
