Mortgages

At NatWest International we seek to understand all of our customers' financial needs and provide a full banking service. Therefore, in order to apply for a mortgage you must hold or open a current account with us. The main applicant’s salary must be paid into an account with NatWest International throughout the mortgage term, or, if earlier until retirement.

YOUR HOME MAY BE REPOSSESSED IF YOU DO NOT KEEP UP REPAYMENTS ON YOUR MORTGAGE.

Over 18's only. Security required.

YOU SHOULD CHECK THAT EQUITY RELEASE AND BULLET REPAYMENT MORTGAGES WILL MEET YOUR NEEDS IF YOU WANT TO MOVE OR SELL YOUR HOME OR YOU WANT YOUR FAMILY TO INHERIT IT. IF YOU ARE IN ANY DOUBT, SEEK INDEPENDENT ADVICE.

CHANGES IN THE EXCHANGE RATE MAY INCREASE THE STERLING EQUIVALENT OF YOUR DEBT.

Please note that for mortgages with interest payments based upon variable rate terms there is a risk that the total sum payable under your mortgage increases significantly as rates rise.

Mortgages are available for United Kingdom properties in limited circumstances only and are not covered by the majority of the rules and regulations made under the UK Financial Services and Markets Act 2000. This means that the protection of those rules and regulations and of the UK Financial Services Compensation Scheme will not be available to borrowers.

Please note that whilst the examples quoted on this site are fictitious, the figures quoted are based on facts and can be fully supported by reference to bank records and / or statistics. Where monthly repayments are reduced by amalgamating debts it may be that those debts are repaid over a longer period and the total amount of interest paid thereon is consequently greater.

For these mortgages this means that the protection of those rules and regulations and of the UK Financial Services Compensation Scheme will not be available to borrowers.

You will be made aware at the time of application whether these rules and regulations apply to your circumstances or not.

Mortgages are offered by The Royal Bank of Scotland International Limited trading as NatWest International (NatWest International). Mortgages on UK properties may not be available to residents of all countries. Fixed rate mortgages are subject to availability. The Bank reserves the right to withdraw the rates offered without notice.
