The Society will, subject to compliance with mortgage conditions, offer a 0.86% discount off the Society’s Standard Variable Rate for 3 years, making the current rate payable 7.13%. After 3 years the Society’s Standard Variable Rate, currently 7.99% will apply. The rate payable will not go below a floor rate of 3% during the discounted period.

An early repayment charge will be payable if the mortgage is redeemed within the first three years. The early repayment charge will be equivalent to 3.00% of the capital repaid less the permitted 10% overpayment allowance. Overpayments (monthly or lump sum) up to a total of 10% of the outstanding loan per year are allowed without charge. Any amount repaid over the 10% limit will incur an early repayment charge of 3.00% on the excess amount.

The Society will only lend to expatriates of the United Kingdom. The Society will not consider applications from residents of the EU/EEA.

The Society will consider applications from expatriates, where the borrower works and resides overseas and therefore is classified as an expatriate but earns income in GBP. Affordability will be assessed under standard rules, but, will take into account any additional costs associated with maintaining a home overseas.

Or, where the borrower works overseas for a multinational company, and wishes to retain a home in the United Kingdom, possibly for the benefit of a family but is paid in a currency other than GBP. Acceptable currencies are: Australian Dollars, Canadian Dollar, Chinese CNY/RMB, Denmark Krone, Euro, Hong Kong Dollars, Norway Krone, Qatari Ryals, Saudi Ryal, Singapore Dollars, Swedish Krone, Swiss Francs,  US Dollar, U.A.E. (Emirati) Dirhams.

Minimum income £40,000 (sterling equivalent). For the purposes of affordability, income will be subject to 20% (haircut) reduction, prior to any affordability assessment or the application of a stress test.

Where expatriates are looking to remortgage property, this will be acceptable to the Society. However, the Society will not offer any incentive in terms of free valuations or fee assisted legal work. These expenses will be met by the borrower.

Representative Example

A mortgage of £211,950 payable over 15 years on our discounted rate for 3 years at 0.86% below the Society’s current variable rate, making the current rate payable 7.13% (variable), and then on our current variable rate of 7.99% (variable) for the remaining 12 years would require 36 monthly payments of £1,920.50 and a further 144 monthly payments of £2,007.27 plus one initial interest payment of £621.04.

The total amount payable would be £360,734.94 made up of the loan amount plus interest (£146,900.94) and an application fee of £249, a product fee of £1,250, a valuation fee of £335 and a mortgage exit fee of £50.

The overall cost for comparison is 8.1% APRC representative.
