Expat with a UK mortgage? – time to review your deal

Mortgage rates are unlikely to improve in the near future so now is the ideal time for borrowers to secure a fixed-rate deal on their mortgage. Borrowers who are on a standard variable rate (SVR) or coming to the end of their term have the potential to save themselves thousands of pounds on their mortgage

The savings can be substantial and could easily pay for home improvements or that much longed-for family holiday.

The near all-time low rates will not last forever, the wise expat should look to secure a deal and speak to an independent broker straight away.
