NatWest has opened up its broker portal to make it available via NatWest International.

The lender said the change will make it easier for international customers to buy property in the UK.

Customers living outside the UK and buying a property in this country will be able to use a UK broker to access NatWest International mortgages through the broker portal.

The new feature covers all three lending brands including NatWest, Coutts and NatWest International.

NatWest head of mortgage distribution and customer servicing Brad Fordham says: “We are committed to delivering the right digital experiences for intermediaries to make it easy for them to support their customers.”

“This latest change further cements our commitment to the intermediary market and to support growth in the UK mortgage market.”
