Gatehouse reduces buy-to-let rates for UK expats and international residents

Gatehouse Bank has reduced rental rates across selected two-year fixed term buy-to-let products for UK expats and international residents.

As a Shariah-compliant bank, Gatehouse charges rental rates rather than interest rates, which reflect the share the customers owns of the property.

Today’s changes apply on two-year fixed term products at 80% finance-to-value (FTV) and on 75% FTV products for customers seeking finance for HMOs and multi-unit freehold blocks (MUFBs). 

Gatehouse accepts applications from individuals as well as UK-registered SPV limited companies.

Following today’s reprice, rental rates on two-year buy-to-let products start at 4.15% for UK expats and 4.16% for international residents.

UK expats and international residents acquiring a home or investment property in England or Wales are now able to apply for a UK payment account with Algbra as part of the home finance process with Gatehouse Bank. The offering aims to support customers residing overseas who are required to hold a UK payment account to access property finance.

Gemma Donnelly, head of customer propositions at Gatehouse Bank, commented: “We know how important it is for landlords to find the home finance product that best suits their needs and at the best price.

“Today’s changes reflect our commitment to remaining competitive within the market while upholding a high level of service to those looking to invest in the highly popular UK property market.”
