Are good interest rates for expats still available on buy-to-lets?

Well, the answer to that is yes! if you have a sizable deposit then rates are even better.

Recent findings show that with the current interest rates available expat landlords are making a decent return on their investment.

We have seen an increase in longer term fixed rate mortgages recently as clients want to set their outgoings of their investment property. There is also talk of rate rises later this year so this route would seem a very sensible one to consider.

It is commonly known with expat buy-to-let mortgages the larger the deposit you can put down the better the deal that can be secured.

Recent figures show that an estimated 191,000 expats own property in the UK and the vast majority let their properties out to achieve extra income.

Demand for good quality rental property In the UK continues to rise year on year due prospective first-time buyers not being able to get onto the so called “property ladder”.

Rents are at an all-time high and will be rising later this year if the experts are correct.

Existing expat landlords remain confident that the future is good, they have every right to do so as property in the UK continues to increase in value consistently. Last year which was poor expats still saw their investment rise between 2-3%.
