Mortgages for Holiday Homes and other Property Abroad

Financial Services > Mortgages > Holiday Homes >

A mortgage is a sum of money borrowed from a bank or building society, for the purchase of property. It is paid back over an agreed period of time (usually no less than 5 years).

The international mortgage is similar in many ways to a mortgage you would take out when purchasing property in the UK. However there may be different taxation levels, fees or restrictions to consider when purchasing abroad.
