Expat Mortgages
If you have UK national clients living and working abroad looking to purchase or remortgage a UK property, speak to us.
We can help expats with residential and buy to let mortgages, borrowing up to £500,000. We have no maximum age and will consider self employed applicants, with most countries of residence accepted.
Please note - with an expat purchase the deposit must be built up and held in a UK bank account for a reasonable period of time (usually at least 6 months). Evidence of this will be required on application.
