Remortgage for expats living in UAE and working in Saudi Arabia

Dan Gracie

Specialist Lending Director

The Requirement

Our clients are a couple who own a home in UAE, where they live with their young family. One of them works in Abu Dhabi, earning in AED but the other works in Saudi Arabia, earning in SAR. They wanted to refinance a UK BTL to release capital for a further investment.

With footprints in both UAE and Saudi Arabia, they were finding it difficult to find a suitable mortgage lender, as neither jurisdiction is particularly poplular with expat lenders and the combination of the two was a step too far for many.

The Solution

Despite the fact that many lenders take a cautious stance towards income derived from Saudi Arabia or the United Arab Emirates, we successfully navigated these challenges to find a viable solution for our clients with financial interests in both countries.

As a result, we facilitated an expatriate Buy-to-Let remortgage that raised sufficient capital. With a deposit secured for their next property investment, our clients are able to add to their their investment portfolio.
