Buying a UK Rental Property From Abroad

Living overseas and your own UK bank won't lend to you for a buy-to-let? You're not out of options.

Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.
The story

How we got it done.

01 · The goal

What they wanted

To invest in a UK rental property while living abroad.

02 · The challenge

Why it was complex

Her own high-street bank declined because she lives overseas, and few lenders accept foreign income and an overseas address.

03 · The solution

How we structured it

We placed it with a building society that specialises in expat buy-to-let, on a 5-year fix, with the whole process run remotely from Switzerland.

04 · The result

The outcome

She bought the property and it is let, all without a trip home.

Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.

Buy-to-let mortgages are not regulated by the FCA. Interest-only capital must be repaid at the end of the term.
