Cambridge BS launches buy-to-let mortgages for expats

To help UK expatriates, living and working overseas, buy rental or holiday let properties in England and Wales, Cambridge Building Society has introduced three buy-to-let mortgage products.

The products, which will be launched on March 10, are a 2-year fixed rate and a 2-year discounted mortgage at 3.64%, and a 5-year fixed rate mortgage at 3.84%.

All are offered without application fees, and there is no completion fee on the two-year discounted product. Completion fees on the fixed rate products cost £1,999.

“These products offer competitive rates, and increased choice, as well as the opportunity to add completion fees to the loan. And as we assess all applications on a case-by-case basis, we can offer as much flexibility as possible,” Dan Barker, product manager at Cambridge Building Society, said.

The building society said the products are made available for experienced landlords who have a maximum of three mortgaged rental properties and who are not deemed portfolio landlords.

Loans can be considered up to 75% loan to value, between £20,000 and £750,000 and are available for purchases, remortgages, product switches, and further advances.

Holiday lets are available up to £500,000, including Airbnb properties, and for borrowers who occupy the property for up to a maximum of 90 days a year.
