The State Bank of India (UK) Ltd (SBI UK) has launched its green tracker mortgage products range for applicants that are purchasing or re-mortgaging a property with an 'A', ‘B’ or ‘C’ EPC rating.

The products will be available for individuals and SPV/LLP/Ltd co-applicants for standard properties.


The two-year tracker rates are offered from 5.00% (BBR + 2.75%), with up to 70% LTV.

SBI UK's executive director and deputy CEO Sanjay Pandey said, "We are happy to come back in the market to help landlords in this crucial time. Our tracker products are well placed to allow landlords to make a conscious decision on their buy-to-let transactions.

The Indian government itself is the largest shareholder of this Fortune 500 company, with 58.60% ownership.

SBI UK has been operating in the UK for almost 100 years and has grown to become the largest Indian bank in the UK, as well as being the largest international operation of SBI.

UK weighs new ‘invite-only’ investor visa for wealthy foreigners after scrapping golden route

  • The UK is reportedly considering a new investor residency visa with a minimum £5m investment requirement.
  • The proposed route could focus on sectors such as AI, clean energy and advanced technology.
  • Wealthy Indians and global business families may closely watch the scheme if it moves ahead.

The UK government is reportedly exploring a new “invite-only” residency visa aimed at attracting ultra-wealthy investors, signalling a possible return of investor migration routes four years after Britain scrapped its controversial golden visa programme over money laundering concerns.

According to reports, the proposed UK investor visa scheme would allow selected high-net-worth individuals investing at least £5m into key sectors of the British economy to secure residency rights for an initial three-year period, with a possible route to permanent settlement later.
