£950,000 buy-to-let mortgage for expat in Germany
Case details
Our client asked for help to secure a £950,000 mortgage to purchase a large buy-to-let property with his sister.
They both earned a generous combined salary and the sister separately owned a residential property.
As the brother was a first-time buyer living and working in Germany, who was unlikely to return to the UK over the next few years, there were a limited amount of lenders willing to help.
Solution
Banks and building societies can be selective when offering expat mortgages, particularly if they do not already own a property.
Trinity’s adviser contacted a selection of building societies and explained the situation. As the client's had a large deposit and the property generated a substantial amount of the rent, he found a few building societies willing to lend.
One of them offered a competitively priced discounted rate for three years.
Property: Large house in Surrey
Value: £1,600,000
Mortgage: £950,000
Rate: 2.99% - 2.55% discount from 5.54% standard variable rate for three years.
The overall cost for comparison is 5.3% APR.
Reversion rate: Standard variable rate - currently 5.54%
Lenders arrangement fee: 1.25% of the loan amount
Mortgage term: 25-year term
