Many people these days are treating themselves to a holiday or retirement home, or purchasing an investment property abroad.

Buying abroad can be significantly different to purchasing in the UK, and your options will often vary depending on the country you purchase in.   When considering various sources of finance for the property concerned there are a few things to consider:

• Is it the best use of an overseas or UK based lender?
• Is re-mortgaging an existing property a better option?
• How much deposit is required?
• What interest rates can I expect to pay?
• What evidence of income will I need to provide?
• Insurance required?
