How it works

Buying in the UK from anywhere

Foreign nationals can buy property in the UK, and a number of specialist and private-bank lenders are set up to finance these purchases — including for applicants on a visa, and in some cases non-residents. Criteria vary by nationality, residency status, deposit and the currency your income is paid in, which is exactly where specialist broking earns its place.

We assess your situation, identify the lenders most likely to lend, and present your income and circumstances in the way each lender wants to see them — from straightforward residential purchases to larger or more complex cases routed through private banks.
