Yacht Crew Mortgages
Yacht crews living offshore are seeing their applications for an Expat mortgage complete faster.
Approvals for house purchases in the UK by expats increased towards the end of 2022 and 2023 has followed the same pattern according to the latest figures from the Bank of England.
The number of expat yacht crew loan approvals for purchasing so far this year is up a massive 20.4% on the same period last year. Re-mortgaging saw an astonishing increase of 30% over the same period.
The next few months are likely to be less active, but at present we can confirm business is very active with the buy-to-let market surprisingly leading the way.
Re-mortgaging in the expat market continues to be very buoyant as homeowners look to lock in advantageous interest rates which are still currently on offer.

There are many reasons you may wish to consider a re-mortgage and it is without any doubt something every expat homeowner should consider, especially if you are stuck on your current lenders standard variable rate. It is not always best advice as your current deal may have conditions that are not beneficial, but you should take time to review on a regular basis. So why re-mortgage?
