Expats is it Time To Re-Mortgage?

In order to re-mortgage effectively, it’s important to first establish the purpose of re-mortgaging.

While most UK expat and foreign national investors will re-mortgage to avoid higher rates or to better devise a stable financial plan for their investment. There are also other ways to utilise a UK expat or foreign national mortgage. So expats is it time to re-mortgage?

Some UK expat and foreign national investors might take the opportunity to use their re-mortgage to fund further property purchases and build a larger portfolio.

This will likely be a better strategy for more experienced investors, those who have made strong capital gains or for those who have a lower loan to value, as negotiating a preferential deal will be made easier as they are in a stronger bargaining position.

It’s a fact that expat borrowers going through an independent mortgage adviser have access to far more advantageous deals than those going direct to the lender.

Expats who benefitted from a mortgage adviser searching the market for the best mortgage deal were more likely to have switched in the last five years (29%), compared to just one in five (19%) of those who went direct.

Expats who used a mortgage adviser were also in favour of doing so again. Nearly all (98%) said that they found the support of a mortgage adviser ‘valuable’ and a further 95% said they would recommend using an independent mortgage adviser to family or friends.
