Mortgage Terms

Expat Mortgage

An expat mortgage is for UK nationals living and working abroad who want to purchase or remortgage a UK property.. Mainstream lenders typically decline these applications — income in foreign currency, limited UK credit footprint and overseas addresses create complexity that only specialist expat lenders handle. Income may be assessed in GBP or the local currency depending on the lender.
