Mortgage for British expat working in Saudi Arabia
Our client wanted to purchase a property in London for his wife to live in while he continued working in Saudi Arabia for a large oil company.
As many of the lenders have tightened up their expat mortgage lending policies, he was keen for us to approach a bank or building society on his behalf.
