Can a British Expat or Foreign National get a Mortgage in the United Kingdom?
The question is a common one, and the short answer is yes – but you may already know from experience that applying for a UK mortgage whilst living abroad can be difficult. British expats and foreign nationals often face more checks and complicated paperwork requirements. Your mortgage application can also be affected by your personal circumstances, such as which country you are currently residing in. Meanwhile, if you’re paid in foreign currency, the process will likely be even more complicated.
That’s where Liquid Expat Mortgages can help, we are a specialist expat mortgage broker who have been helping clients like yourself to secure UK mortgages since 2007.

Most high street lenders lack expat mortgage options and support structures for Expats or Foreign Nationals seeking finance.

Any available mortgage product will depend on your specific circumstances.
Our consultants and dedicated support team will guide you through the entire UK mortgage application process. We'll identify all of the requirements, including income and visa status. We help reduce disruption, contain your costs, and save you time.

Both have been extremely helpful, efficient, kind and courteous and have really put me at ease and done their absolute best to help me attain a mortgage.
I hugely appreciate their efforts and assistance and highly recommend them both for recognition in their company and to anyone seeking an expat mortgage.

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We came back to the UK in July 2022 after almost 20 years abroad and discovered that, as an "expat", borrowing for a new home is very difficult. Liquid Expat made it possible and we have just moved into our new home. They are specialists in the field and we would recommend them to all expats needing a mortgage.

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After an initially shakey experience with a staff member who subsequently left Jae came in like a super hero and helped me to get this deal done. I have been having an immense amount of trouble with my own legal representation (!!!!) and Jae has been the guiding light.
