Expats, does your mortgage need reviewing before 01 January 2021?
A former Bank of England Monetary Policy Committee member has predicted that interest rates could rise significantly in the next few years.
Inflation has now caught up with wage growth causing a sharp consumer slowdown and the weak pound has also squeezed consumers and the expectation is that households will adjust their spending downwards.
More and more expats are looking for ways to reduce their monthly outgoings. One of the biggest expenses most people have every month is their mortgage payment. Keeping this in mind it would be a wise move to review your current mortgage to ensure you are on the best deal possible.
This will not be the case for everybody, your current deal may well be particularly good, but it is most certainly worth checking before the end of the year.
With all the uncertainty the Brexit situation is having on the UK currently a prudent move may be to fix a term for your current mortgage, this would take out all the uncertainty over that period.
It is highly recommended to seek professional independent advice as to what new deal could suit your current situation.

- To save money.
- Raise extra cash for a project you have planned.
