Kent Reliance offering expats in Australia buy-to-let mortgages

In order to qualify for their expat buy-to-let mortgage, applicants will need to own at least one property in the UK and earn a minimum verifiable income of £25,000.
The lenders lowest buy-to-let expat mortgage is priced at 4.79% and it has a two-year 1.79% discount from their 6.58% standard variable rate.
Borrowers will require a 25% deposit and there is a 2% arrangement fee for standard clients. The overall cost for comparison is 6.8% APR.
Aaron Strutt, product manager at Trinity Financial, says: “Not all of the expat buy-to-let lenders are keen to offer mortgages if borrowers live in Australia because of complications over banking regulations.
“Kent Reliance’s expat proposition is geared towards professionals who are employed in a senior position by a UK, EU or US based company particularly if they are looking to purchase property in London or the south-east.
“We have access to a couple of mortgage lenders willing to help expats in Australia but they can be quite selective about who they will lend to.”
The mortgage is available to a minimum of £125,000 and a maximum of £1,000,000. Also, early repayment charges apply for the first two-years.
