UK Residential Mortgages

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.

Liquid Expat Mortgages Testimonials

Hear from some of our clients about their experience with Liquid Expat Mortgages.

expat residential mortgage testimonial

­ Many thanks to all the guys at Liquid Expat and the support they gave us to buy our new property. We’d tried our bank for a residential mortgage and wasted so much time that we actually lost our first choice property, let alone the hassle, time and money as we had to provide documents and information from Dubai. We were pretty dubious we could get a mortgage when we came to speak to Liquid, but we quickly saw how you worked for us and we were always available to answer our questions. We’ve now got a new home and will be moving back to Sheffield from Dubai in the next 2 weeks to settle back into the UK.

­ I first contacted Liquid Expat in June 2020 as I was looking at a property in Manchester or Salford as my son was looking to study at one of the two universities. Liquid were not only able to offer great insight into the city itself but they offered a number of residential expat mortgage options. They remained professional throughout and aware of the needs of expats looking for mortgages in the UK. I would recommend Liquid Expat to anyone looking for a UK expat residential mortgage as they sorted my needs out quickly and saved me time and money as they organised notaries in Abu Dhabi and UK solicitors as well.

­ John and his team of Cantonese and Mandarin speaking mortgage advisers were great. I enquired about a residential expat mortgage as my parents wanted to buy a house in the UK. Although I speak English to a good standard my parents were encouraged that they could also communicate with Liquid Expat as and when they wanted to. Despite the time differences they kept in touch and we always knew that they had colleagues in Hong Kong ready to help. We just completed on a house near Manchester city centre. I would highly recommend Liquid Expat Mortgages to all foreign nationals looking to buy in the UK.

We were very happy with Liquid Expat Mortgages. After living in Spain and hoping to buy a U.K. property we were advised by most that we wouldn’t qualify for a U.K. mortgage. Never the less LEM said they could help and we were supported from start to finish with a good mortgage offer on the table. Liam and Claire were fantastic throughout the whole experience and never hesitated to offer advice and support as we needed. We can’t thank them enough for all their help and time spent with us even to the end where Claire was helping our solicitor to ensure all would go through on completion day with the lender. Our solicitor was also recommended by LEM and was also fantastic. Our sale completed smoothly on the day and with no issues. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend. Thank you again for everything.

We have been using the services of Liquid Expat for over six years and cannot recommend them enough. The level of broker professionalism, expat mortgage knowledge, and, most of all--transparent communication--is exceptional. As expats, it's even more challenging trying to maneuver the requirements and products in the UK market; additionally, the current climate has made it even more difficult. Liquid Expat will help you with this! To give some shoutouts--John Squires is always our first point of contact, helping to identify the best products available, and his knowledge speaks for itself. Then there's the incredible duo of Claire Aspin and Liam Saul--they are absolutely brilliant. So patient, thorough, and attentive to all of the details that any non-trained eye might miss. Claire and Liam were invaluable to our recent remortgage. We have, and will continue to, recommend Liquid Expat to anyone seeking the highest level of expat mortgage advice. Thank you!

Nicole Gallagher of Liquid Mortgages was very professional and knowledgeable in sourcing a lender for me to re-finance my flat in London. she got me the offer letter from the bank by coordinating to obtain all the required documents in a very efficient manner. I was happy with the offer & how Nicole dealt wit my case and would recommend her to my friends and family. Nicole went above and beyond to assist me as a client, when we hit a road block due to solicitors not being in a position to complete in time before the finance offer expired. but Nicole worked tirelessly to obtain an extension on the finance offer to make the completion successful. this was impressive considering the interest rates were going up and a new offer would have costed me thousands of pounds more. Nicole is an asset to any organisation and highly recommend her ability and excellent customer service.

Hi. My mortgage application was handled by Ms Nicole Gallagher, and she was absolutely brilliant. Any questions I had were answered straight away with a full explanation. Throughout the process, I was kept in the loop and advised on the best course of action. Even my solicitor has praised Nicole for her efficency and super quick responses. On two occasions, the solicitor of the seller questioned my intention to buy the property. Nicole replied and defended me and set him straight. The email was so well written that I couldn't have said it any better myself. Professional but straight the point! Nicole is excellent at what she does and did a brilliant job in handling my application. She was very efficient and always replied to my emails straight away. I will definitely be recommending Liquid Expats to my friends and suggest they ask for Nicole to handle their application. If in the future we decide to buy another property, I will definitely be asking for Nicole and only to handle my application. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Nicole for all her guidance and support. Her attention to detail and her professional advice. I feel she went above and beyond in making me feel part of the process by keeping me informed at each stage. She is a credit to your company and has set the bar very high! Thank you Nicole. Wishing you all the best for the future. Mr Wahid Fazil 5 Fountain Park Westhoughton Bolton BL5
