Finance introductions
Finance for overseas buyers, through regulated brokers
Non-resident lending is a specialist corner of the UK market. We do not give mortgage advice ourselves. We introduce you to regulated brokers who work with overseas and expat borrowers, and keep your purchase and finance moving together.
- Introductions to regulated brokers
- Finance and purchase timetable aligned

FAQ
Finance introductions: your questions answered
Can’t find what you’re looking for?Talk to our team.
Can a non-resident get a mortgage in the UK?
Some UK lenders lend to non-residents and expats, usually with stricter criteria than for UK residents. A regulated broker can tell you which lenders may consider your case.
Do you give mortgage advice?
No. Belgrave does not give mortgage advice. We introduce you to regulated brokers, and any advice or recommendation comes from them.
How much deposit will I need?
It varies by lender, residency, income and property. The broker will set out what applies to you; we do not quote figures.
Does it matter that I am paid in another currency?
It can affect which lenders will consider you and on what terms. Mention it when you enquire so we introduce the right specialist.
Is there a cost for the introduction?
Our property finance desk is typically paid a procuration fee by the lender, with an optional client fee only on bespoke or smaller mandates by arrangement. The broker will disclose their own fees to you.
Should I arrange finance before I start viewing?
It helps. Knowing your borrowing range early keeps the search realistic and shows sellers you can proceed.
Can you help if I am buying with cash instead?
Yes. Cash purchases still need evidence of the source of funds. We explain what will be asked for at the start.
Still deciding? Ask a senior adviser directly.
