Im a first time buyer and have been dealing with Natalia from Ascot mortgages. She has been great and has made this process very easy and stress free. There has been no pressure and total clarity and she has been a pleasure to deal with. Always very quick to respond to emails and readily contactable by phone. I would definitely recommend them and in particular, Natalia.

As a solo buyer, Courtney’s advice has been absolutely invaluable. She is highly professional yet incredibly approachable, always taking the time to answer any question—no matter how big or small. She explores all options thoroughly, and I completely trust her guidance.From supporting me with putting an offer on a house to explaining mortgage rates, income protection, and so much more, Courtney has been exceptional every step of the way. The ability to WhatsApp her with questions and receive timely updates has made the entire process seamless and stress-free.I’ve already recommended Courtney and Ascot Mortgages to friends, and I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again in the future. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, supportive, and dedicated mortgage advisor, I highly recommend her!

I had previously used Ascot to find a good mortgage deal and approached them to do so again in more complex circumstances. They took the challenge on and, having found an interested lender, worked hard to bring it to a successful completion, overcoming any external obstacles that arose. Thank you Natalia and Matt.

We’ve worked with Alison at Ascot Mortgages on multiple occasions, and every time she’s been incredible. Alison is so easy to work with—she’s professional, patient, and always makes sure we understand every step.

Eric T.
We have dealt with Ascot Mortgages twice. Once for a mortgage about eleven years ago and recently for life insurance.In both cases we were treated with the utmost respect and professionalism.In the case of the life insurance application, we considered ourselves to be problem customers because of our age and numerous health issues.Richard Johnson, who managed this application couldn't have been more helpful.He worked in our best interest and was dedicated to providing an excellent service.We were kept up to date through all of the stages of the application and when our doctors were very slow in producing medical reports for the insurance company he persisted where others might have given up.The service we had from Richard was pleasant and professional throughout some difficult stages.My wife and I have no hesitation in recommending Ascot Mortgages.
Zack R.

FAQ

A UK expat mortgage is primarily designed for British nationals who are living abroad but wish to purchase or refinance property in the UK. To be eligible, applicants typically need to demonstrate a clear credit history, provide proof of overseas employment, and have a stable income. Lending criteria may vary between lenders, so it’s always best to consult with a mortgage advisor for your specific situation.

Yes, many lenders offer expat mortgages to non-UK citizens who are residing abroad, but they may have stricter criteria. It’s essential for applicants to have a strong connection to the UK, such as a history of residency, work, or property ownership. As with all mortgage applications, a good credit history and a stable income are key considerations.

Generally, expat mortgages can be used to purchase most types of residential properties in the UK. However, certain lenders may have restrictions or exclusions, such as properties with non-standard construction, holiday homes, or properties for business use. It’s always recommended to discuss your property preferences with a mortgage advisor to ensure it falls within the accepted criteria of your chosen lender.

Yes, many lenders will consider foreign income when assessing your eligibility for an expat mortgage. It’s essential to provide proof of this income, such as payslips or tax returns, and be aware that lenders might apply exchange rate adjustments. Depending on the currency of your income and fluctuations in exchange rates, this can affect the amount you can borrow. Speaking to a mortgage advisor will help clarify how your foreign income will be assessed.
