Expat Buy-to-Let

Expat buy-to-let.

The Expat mortgage market is stable and thriving.

The expat buy-to-let mortgage sector has been more resilient than the residential mortgage one during the past six months.

Despite initially pulling deals from the market, mortgage choice has been on a broadly upward trend since July 2023, while the small fall in average rates suggests the market remains competitive and lenders are keen to do business.

Limited company expat buy-to-let mortgages.

As this area of expat buy-to-lets mortgages grow so has the choices to the borrower. Mortgage providers have not been slow to increase the number of fixed and tracker deals. Also, the charges and interest rates have reduced as popularity has increased which goes to prove lenders are in fierce competition to secure new expat business.

Buy-to-let limited company mortgages.

The majority of the expat buy to let purchase transactions made through limited companies last year were related to additional property acquisitions, although the figures also include expats selling property they already own personally into a corporate structure.

All transfers of properties from individuals to limited companies must be treated as a new purchase, and therefore do not qualify as a re-mortgage.

Confidence in brokers increases at a fast rate!

Expat landlords will know only too well how difficult it is selecting the correct mortgage deal due to the complexity of an expat mortgage. The last 3 years has seen a massive shift towards expats using a professional independent broker to secure the correct mortgage for their needs. This trend is continuing into 202’ with broker related deals increasing year on year by 34.6%.

Expat Rental Property

Expat Rental Property.

Expat buy-to-lets are stable and producing positive returns.

Rental income is still increasing and tenant demand for buy-to-let properties remains consistently high. These conditions are keeping expat landlords on a very positive footing after so much adverse news in the last six months.

The general feeling within the expat landlord community is that things will remain fairly stable in the coming months. One expat commented “my confidence remains high as I know it is so difficult for couples to get onto the property ladder with ever increasing property prices”.

Expat Rental Survey

A recent survey of expat landlords shows that over 60% have seen a large increase in demand for rental properties within the last 6 months. A multiple expat owner in the north said, “I have never found it so easy to let any of my properties, whether it is a 2 or 3 bedroomed seems to make no difference at all”. “I am finding rents are remaining stable and easily keeping pace with inflation so all in all I am very pleased”.

The survey also reported that a lot of expats intend to increase their property holdings over the next year. The consensus is that buy-to-let property over the long term is still a very sound and solid investment.

Where to invest is a question always being asked. Recent reports show that Manchester, Hull and the Blackpool areas are currently seeing very good growth. This is all due to reasonable house prices compared with the South of England. As well as an increased demand for rental property.
