Eligibility

What if my client earns income in a foreign currency?
We only lend in pounds sterling (GBP). We do consider applications from clients receiving income or holding assets in currencies other than GBP. We will also consider applications from clients who are not UK residents. For these purposes, we recognise all major global currencies.
Your client should be aware that the equivalent value of the loan in their foreign currency could change, such that if the value of their foreign currency fell relative to GBP, then the equivalent value of their loan would increase. In that event, they may have difficulty affording their regular repayments, and the overall cost of their loan could increase significantly.
-
Does my client need to have a certain amount of net assets?
Typically a minimum of £3m in net assets. Mortgages do not require any assets under management with Investec.
-
Are mortgages available to both UK residents and non-residents?
Yes, depending on your clients’ individual circumstances.
