Buy to let expat mortgages and UK mortgage regulation.


UK Expatriate mortgages are regulated if more than 40% of the property being purchased will be occupied by the purchaser or a member of the purchaser's immediate family. Mortgage Regulation also applies to "buy to let" property if  you or your family have an intention to return to live in more than 40% of the property at some time in the future. Most other buy to let mortgages will not be regulated by the FSA.

Even when mortgages fall outside regulation parameters it is prudent to use the Annual Percentage Rate (APR) when comparing mortgage products. The APR is more significant than the mortgage interest rate alone as the APR will indicate the true cost of the mortgage including start up costs and any lenders fees. For example, costs and fees may be higher for mortgages with low interest rates and no early repayment charges. Early repayment charges are often applied if you decide to switch to a different lender in the future.

Your property may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgages.
