Living in the USA, interests in UK

over_seer

We moved to the USA in Dec 2008 in our late fifties and live in Atlanta. We are established now and our daughter lives quite near us as she is a citizen through marriage.

I often find I need advice on UK bank accounts (switching accounts etc), remortgages (typical Ex Pat mortgages for Buy to Let are lower than 75% LTV).

Just don't know where to go to for advice as most of MSE's posts apply to people living and working in the UK? Ideas - advice anyone? Want to ask me a question?

Why don't you get a financial advisor to look after it for you? If you get a good one, it should be free or cheap for you, and they can handle everything from the uk?

Don't see an advisor being free or even cheap.

Depends what the OP wants, for savings then if you live in the us wouldn't it be easier keeping finances there. If you have property here then you will at least need a local agent, for mortgages potentially look a a specialist expat broker. Buy to let mortgages generally need a 25% deposit so that isn't an expat thing.

What I meant was I use a broker for mortgages that renews them before the interest rates go unlike at the end of the two years, and he doesn't charge me anything and I don't have to remind him he does it automatically. That sort of thing might be very helpful and cost effective.
