Financing Options

How you choose to finance your property investment is really down to you although there are a number of options that will usually be open to you.

Overseas Mortgages 

Taking out a mortgage in the country where you plan to invest offers the obvious advantage of circumventing the money transfer fees which would be applicable to a mortgage in your home country. Although you will find that the precise terms vary from country to country, it is often possible to raise up to 80% of the property purchase price through opting for this kind of mortgage. 

UK Mortgages 

This may seem the most obvious method by which to raise finance for a foreign property investment and it does carry the advantage of being a familiar system in which currency fluctuation is not a concern. 

Remortgaging 

You could chose to remortgage existing property or enter an equity release scheme, both of which are particularly effective for homeowners in countries such as the UK where property prices have increased dramatically and consistently over a long period of time as this will provide a substantial source of finance for your investment with many lenders offering high percentages.
