Molo adds expat BTL mortgages
Molo has added an expat BTL mortgage range for British nationals living abroad.
It builds on the success of its non-resident BTL mortgage range and will offer financing to individuals residing and working in Hong Kong, Singapore, United Arab Emirates and the European Union, to name a few.
There is a one-year fixed rate at 4.99 per cent and two- and five-year fixed rates starting from 6.24 per cent.
Applications can be assessed using rental coverage and income, and lending is available up to 80 per cent LTV.
Molo has also adjusted its UK residential and non-UK resident product rates.
For UK residents, individual and limited company two-year fixed rates start from 4.55 per cent for 75 per cent LTV, and individual and limited company five-year fixed rates begin at 5.44 per cent for 75 per cent LTV.
For non-UK residents, individual and limited company standard one-year fixed-rates start from 5.99 per cent for 70 per cent LTV.
Matthew Kimber, Molo CEO, said: “Our commitment to innovation and meeting the diverse needs of our clients is at the core of our mission. Since the introduction of our non-resident BTL range, we’ve received positive feedback from the broker community, reflecting a strong interest in expat lending. The launch of expat BTL mortgages demonstrates our dedication to helping our customers”.
