Getting an expat mortgage
There are many ways in which the expat can gain an introduction to a mortgage lender but by far it is considered that using an established and experienced expat mortgage broker will prove to be the most effective. Such a broker will know the market and be familiar with lending criteria and will best be able to match your circumstances and requirements to the lender most suited to you.
You can of course do your own research and make your application directly to your lender of choice but unless you know that lender or have already had discussions with that particular lender, you will probably find the process to be slow and likely to result in the failure of that lender to provide the mortgage you require. At that point you would need to start out all over again with another lender with the possibility of achieving the same result.
Expat mortgage brokers can be easily found in the internet but if you are reading this, all you have to do is complete the mortgage enquiry form here on expatriates.co.uk and you will immediately be in touch with one of our suitably experienced mortgage brokers who fully understands the market and lending criteria and who can walk you through the complete process.
