There are an increasing number of people now buying homes abroad, whether as a second home, investment or retirement home.

Where do you start? The process is different from purchasing in the UK and your options will often vary depending on the country you purchase in. As far as financing the property is concerned, these are some of the points to consider:

• Is it best to use an overseas or UK based lender?
• Is remortgaging my existing property a better option?
• How much deposit will I need?
• What interest rate can I expect to pay?
• What income will I need to prove?
• What about insurance?

One of our Personal Mortgage Advisers will answer these questions and any others you may have. A decision in principal could be arranged if required to enable you to commence your property search.

They will even take care of all the mortgage paperwork for you, so you don't need to worry about a thing.

WARNING: YOUR HOME MAY BE REPOSSESSED IF YOU DO NOT KEEP UP REPAYMENTS ON YOUR MORTGAGE
