£1,400,000 remortgage for British expat paid in Euros
Our client asked for help to secure a £1 million+ remortgage on his family home in London.
He planned to use just over £560,000 of the funds to repay his existing lender and obtain a lower rate. The remaining £890,000 would be used to purchase a buy-to-let property.
As a British expat working for a multinational company overseas, he earned a generous salary although it was paid in Euros.
While he is working overseas, the client’s wife and children remain in the London home.
Solution
Trinity approached a high street lender offering foreign income mortgages to expats, providing their family live in the UK based property.
The lender was happy to use his Euro income and offer a competitively priced two-year fixed rate mortgage.
