mortgage advisor needed !

[blueberrysorbet]

hi there

i have a house in the uk, but live overseas. I am having trouble finding an advisor to help me. our mortgage is comes to an end end june. my house is rented out.

if you know anyone, please could you help me- it seems advisors who deal with overseas clients are hard to come by!

Google independent mortgage advisor uk
they don't charge you, but find you the best deal & take a percentage from the mortgage company that you sign up with. You can tell them what kind of mortgage you are after & for how long & they will do the leg work for you

There is someone on MN whose husband is one andhas helped a few people I think.Can't remember her name but if you keep your thread in the top 20 or so she will see it eventually HTH

the problem is most uk mortgage advisors are restticted to uk residents- my usual one can't help.

what about emailing major banks for quotes and enquire whether they would help, ie HSBC, Abbey/Santander, Barclays? they will all try to sell you their mortgage but it may give you a starting point - you dont have to use them but it gives you an idea how much it will cost

Have a look at Barclays and Bank of Scotland International,
I have just googled expat mortgages and this is one of the things that came up
I would probably contact the lenders direct as you may be charged a large fee by the brokers but you can call them and see first.
However I will say that given the current credit crunch most lenders will want to see 25% equity or more.

thx for all the help. seems like my lender at mo not so bad. and stress free seeing as baby due in 3 weeks
