We’re thrilled to share a recent success story where our client, a seasoned portfolio landlord, achieved their goal and secured lower-than-expected rates on two commercial remortgages.
Most cases come with their own unique set of challenges, and this case was no exception. Our client, a permanent resident in Canada, approached us seeking to remortgage two commercial properties based in the UK to raise capital for future investments. While considered a standard commercial transaction in the realm of specialist finance, the expat element presented an additional hurdle.
The majority of lenders often view expats as higher risk, narrowing the potential pool of lenders and making the process of remortgaging the UK-based properties far more complex.
Overcoming Challenges for Expat Clients
By Leveraging our established and trusted relationships with lenders, we were able to gain access to decision-makers who could truly understand the potential of our client’s business. Presenting our client’s strong financial profile, demonstrating their proven track record, and well-defined investment plan with solid financial projections, convinced the lender to take a more holistic view of the case, looking beyond the standard metrics and criteria.
The result? Our client secured highly competitive interest rates on both commercial units, significantly reducing their monthly outgoings and freeing up the capital needed for their investment goals.

By leveraging these strengths, we were able to overcome the expat hurdle in this particular case and deliver a winning outcome for our client.
