The Dudley Building Society has launched expat mortgages for purchase, remortgage and buy-to-let with whole of term discount rates.

The new mortgages are available for both employed and self employed borrowers who are UK citizens currently resident abroad.

Features include:

• Minimum/Maximum loan –  £25,000/£500,000

• Maximum LTV 60% (on both residential and buy-to-let mortgage)

• 3.99% rate for residential purchase or remortgage – includes discount of 1% from residential SVR (currently 4.99%) for term of mortgage

• 3.99% rate for buy-to-let purchase or remortgage – includes discount of 1.5% from buy-to-let SVR (currently 5.49%) for term of mortgage

Jonathan Moore, head of credit at the Dudley Building Society, said: “We have been taking soundings from our partners and expat mortgages have been one of the areas which has kept coming up as an underserved sector of the market. It seems that Brexit has not dampened the demand for expat finance and we have set out to offer a strong proposition for advisers to put before their clients, which covers both purchase and remortgage on residential and buy-to-let properties.

“Dudley Building Society is building a reputation of stepping in first and providing support for sectors that have tended to be ignored. Our move to scrap upper age limits across our product range to help older customers has now been emulated in the market. We shall continue to lead the move into areas which we feel are underserved.”
