Experience of Remortgaging a BTL Mortgage

5
I generally had a seamless experience with their remortgaging team and process. Their BTL products for expats are reasonably competitive including fees. I would have liked the option, particularly in the current environment of falling interest rates of a lifetime tracker BTL mortgage product. I am generally very happy with the Family Building Society, particularly when other lending providers would not consider expats for BTL mortgages. Reviewed on: 9th January 2026
