Brillant, hassle free, time saving, excellent rates, quick, beyond my expectations... I can't recommend enough MyMortgageDeal.co.uk and Simon as an expat and foreigner for UK mortgages. I have already used their services twice !Back in 2021 to buy a residential property for my family during troubling time when he secured me a deal that I couldn't hope for due to my circumstances and in a speedy time even compare to UK residents and British nationals ! The whole process was extremely clear from A to Z, Simon explained all the details along the way and answered easily all my questions. I felt very good he knows his thing with expats situations and all the good "tricks". He handled everything and transform a daunting process into a dream path for my family and myself.2024, time for a switch rate. UK government and banks have made life even more difficult for expats and foreigners. After trying to do it myself wasting my time with searches and multiples calls, I finally went again with Simon. In less than a week, after a 15min call, the switch rate was done ! He secured me a top 5 new rates among the UK resident mortgages. Incredible.I will certainly call him again for future operations with properties.

We really appreciated the support Simon gave us to obtain a mortgage for a property in the UK when we had been told by all of the main high street lenders they could not do this for us. We are living and working overseas and if you are an expat then we can thoroughly recommend Simon to help you.

Simon has been exceptional in helping us through the whole mortgage process for our cottage in Wales. From choosing the right lender to navigating through all the challenges homebuyers are facing in these difficult times, his support and advice has been prompt, unwavering and extremely useful.

Simon delivered us an expat buy-to-let in the NE UK at a fixed low rate for 2.5 yrs, then we can change it to move home. Very straight forward, highly professional and, tbh, well worth the fee.If you want it to happen, just message him, as we did. He recommeded a law firm that we used too - did the job and were very competitive. Thanks.

I work overseas and have been trying for close to five years to get a mortgage to move my family who are back in the UK into without success, due to my overseas income until I chanced on Simon online. In spite of the challenges with Covid and my busy schedule Simon was very helpful and held my hands throughout the mortgage process to completion. I got a super A plus UK prime mortgage. This is the best financial service support I have received in my entire life. It was an amazing experience.

My experience with Simon at mortgagedeal was excellent. My husband and I are expats living in Nigeria. We wanted to buy a residential property in the Uk. No mortgage broker wanted to deal with a Nigerian resident earning an income in naira even though we had other property in UK with an excellent credit and had lived in the UK most of our lives before moving. We found a property we liked and had gone far when the lender told us they could not accept an income denominated in naira. We had nearly given up but I thought I would give it a last try. I found Simon on the internet and was a bit sceptical because of our experience. Simon assured us that he could get us a mortgage or he would give us back our money. We got a rate of 1.64% fixed for 5 years. We have our mortgage offer and are will exchange later this week. The whole thing has been nothing short of a miracle

The service Simon provided in securing our expat mortgage was second to none. He kept us informed every single step of the way and provided a quick and clear response to all of our queries. From mortgage application to moving in took just 8 weeks, which is pretty impressive during a global pandemic. From beginning until end Simon and his team took care of everything and I highly recommend his services.

5 stars is not enough to rate the way in which Simon listens to your requirements and truly engages to find the best solution.My case was not without challenges: a UK expat with a divorce settlement to pay ; a London flat with a lease <85 years and an unhelpful co-freeholder.With patience and perseverance, Simon found a lender and a mortgage deal with very good terms. Always realistic and pragmatic, he made sure that my application successfully completed – even during the restrictions imposed by COVID 19 pandemic!

Simon dealt with my mortgage application in an efficient and friendly manner. I did not believe it was possible to get a residential mortgage in the UK whilst living abroad, Simon found the necessary options and took the stress of applying away. He kept me in touch with each stage of the process, and today I received the good news that my mortgage has been approved. I would certainly go through Simon again, if I needed a new mortgage.

My Mortgage Deal client testimonials

Thanks for your help and dedication in securing my mortgage. Especially since Id changed my job role recently, without your intervention I may have lost the property! At last I’m packing boxes!

Mrs A (South West)

Home Mover

Just a word of thanks, we are so pleased to have been able to re-invest in property in the UK having been Expats for the last 15 years. With things feeling very uncertain, it was important to us, that we have property in the UK with rental income.

It’s amazing it was all arranged over Skype too! Next time you are in Marbella please come and see us!

 

Mr A & Mrs G (Spain)

UK Landlords

I’m very pleased with the way you handled my mortgage, as a sole trading Barrister my income fluctuates from year to year, my own bank declined me, yet you understood my accounts and secured my re-mortgage on ‘interest only’.  

This will really help my retirement goals for the future.
