RAW Capital Partners has reported a strong first quarter for its UK mortgage proposition following the launch of the range in December 2025.
The lender, which has 10 years of experience providing bespoke mortgages to foreign nationals, UK expats and Channel Islanders investing in UK buy-to-let property, expanded its offering to include UK residents at the end of last year.
In Q1 2026, a third of new business was written through its UK mortgage proposition, with the lender also originating as many loans to UK-resident borrowers in the quarter as it had across the whole of 2025.
The majority of these new customers were corporate borrowers, reflecting the firm’s experience in lending to offshore structures.
The lender also reported a shift in how borrowers are servicing their loans, with the proportion making payments from UK bank accounts rising from around 2% in 2025 to approximately 15% in Q1 2026.
This followed an earlier update to its proposition allowing foreign national borrowers to service debt from UK accounts, while continuing to accept payments from both UK and non-UK bank accounts subject to eligibility.
Tim Parkes (picyured), chief executive officer at RAW Capital Partners, said: “It’s encouraging to see such strong uptake for our UK mortgage proposition following its launch in December.
“Opening up our products to UK residents was a natural next step for the business after 10 years of supporting complex overseas clients investing in UK property, and we are pleased to see that the product range has been well received by brokers so early on.”
Parkes added: “The rise in borrowers servicing their debt from UK bank accounts also reflects the value of making practical changes in response to borrower and broker needs.
“It’s a good example of how we continue to adapt our offering in line with the challenges the market is facing, and that approach will continue to shape our products and proposition.”
