What this broker covers
From the areas recorded here.
Expat Mortgage records 4 areas of advice from its base in London: self-employed, commercial, buy-to-let and residential.
Running commercial alongside buy-to-let usually points at landlord and business-owner clients — semi-commercial units, HMOs and portfolios rather than single flats.
Self-Employed
Self-employed cases turn on how a lender reads your income. Some average two or three years of accounts, some use your latest year, and sole traders, limited-company directors and day-rate contractors are all assessed differently. A firm that does this regularly knows which lenders sit where.

Commercial mortgages are underwritten case by case rather than from a rate table. Lenders look at the trading business behind the purchase, the property type and your experience, and terms are negotiated rather than advertised.
Buy-to-Let
Buy-to-let borrowing is capped by a rental stress test rather than by your salary, and the sums differ sharply between personal ownership and a limited company. Portfolio landlords with four or more mortgaged properties face extra underwriting. Alongside commercial lending, that points at semi-commercial units and HMOs rather than single flats.
Read the buy-to-let guideResidential
Standard residential advice covers buying, moving and remortgaging on your own home — the bulk of UK mortgage lending, and the area where switching deal at the right moment usually saves the most. Paired with self-employed lending, it should cover employed and variable-income applicants equally.

- 4What deposit, trading history and security will a commercial lender want from me, and how long does a decision usually take?

Frequently asked questions
What does Expat Mortgage charge for mortgage advice?
Not recorded on this listing — ask Expat Mortgage directly, as it must tell you before you commit. Commercial cases are frequently priced separately from residential ones, so confirm which applies to you.
What types of mortgage does Expat Mortgage handle?
Expat Mortgage records self-employed, commercial, buy-to-let and residential, working from London. Ask anyway if your case sits outside that list.
Does Expat Mortgage work with self-employed borrowers?
Yes — self-employed lending is one of the areas Expat Mortgage lists. Have your last two to three years of accounts or SA302s and corresponding tax year overviews ready. The figure you can borrow depends heavily on which lender is used, because they treat retained profit, dividends and contract income very differently.
Does Expat Mortgage only cover London?
Expat Mortgage is listed in London, but UK brokers are not restricted to their own area and most advise nationally by phone or video. You can also compare other mortgage brokers in London on MortgageMatch.
MortgageMatch is a directory, not a broker. We do not give advice. Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments.
