RAW Capital Partners has increased its loan-to-value (LTV) limits to 70% to support expat and overseas investors.

For the last 10 years, the Guernsey-based investment management firm, through the RAW Mortgage Fund, has offered a maximum LTV of 55% with limited second charge available.

The new limit will apply to all first charge cases, which the lender says will enhance flexibility and provide a more straightforward solution.

Brokers will still be able to combine the updated LTV limit with its other core offerings, including decisions in principle within one business day and no stress testing.

RAW Capital Partners chief executive officer Tim Parkes says: “As we celebrate a decade of successful, disciplined lending, this increase to our LTV limit represents a natural next step for our proposition – one that continues to evolve in line with the needs of expats and overseas investors.”

“Too often, these borrowers are underserved by traditional lenders, and this change puts us in an even stronger position to bridge that gap with speed, flexibility, and clarity.”

Last month, RAW Capital Partners introduced a range of short- and medium-term fixed-rate mortgage products, which included discounts for UK expats and larger loans.
