Many Expats Miss Out on Better Rates Due to:
Getting a UK mortgage with foreign income can be challenging through high-street banks, as many will not accept earnings in overseas currencies.
I work with over 170 lenders and can secure foreign income mortgages in:
With my support, expats benefit from rapid approvals, enhanced borrowing up to 6.5x income, improved rates, and a hassle-free journey.
✅ Strict criteria and outdated processes mean approvals can take months — or never come at all.
✅ Missed opportunities arise when the right property slips away while waiting for approval.
✅ Even strong earners are turned away, simply because their salary isn’t paid in GBP.
✅ UK banks often reject foreign income, leaving expats frustrated and stuck.
I specialise in removing these barriers, connecting you directly with lenders who understand expats and accept foreign income.

Making UK Mortgages Simple for Expats
Struggling to Get a UK Mortgage from Abroad
Learn how to overcome lender restrictions, borrow more, and secure faster approvals with our expert Expat Mortgage Guide
👩💼 Client Profile:
A senior oil and gas executive working on a rotational basis in Saudi Arabia — 6 weeks on, 4 weeks off. Though based overseas, he remains a UK tax resident and owns a UK property currently let out.
⚠️ The Challenge:
He wanted to purchase a new property in London as a buy-to-let investment, with a long-term goal of living in it during retirement. Despite his strong income in SAR and ties to the UK, most high-street lenders were cautious due to his overseas work schedule and foreign currency earnings.
🔍 My Solution:
I matched him with a specialist lender that understood his international income and was comfortable with his residency profile. We structured the mortgage around his foreign earnings, factored in his existing rental income, and presented a clear long-term intent to reside in the property, which strengthened his application.
✅ Outcome:
✔ Mortgage approved smoothly without delays
✔ Secured a competitive interest rate with a specialist lender
✔ Purchased a prime London property as a long-term investment
✔ Retains flexibility to rent it out or live in it later
✔ Peace of mind knowing the finance is in place and future-ready
💬 Client Testimonial:
“Working offshore with foreign currency income made securing a UK mortgage feel out of reach — until I spoke to Lyndsey. He understood my situation immediately and found a lender that could work with my residency and income profile. The process was smooth, the rate was excellent, and I now own a London property I can retire to in future. Her expertise made all the difference.”
— Norman, Dubai Senior Executive
👩💼 Client Profile:
A British expat executive living and working in Dubai, paid in AED, looking to purchase a property in the UK for his son who was about to start university there.
⚠️ The Challenge:
With no active UK credit history, no current UK bank account, and the need to move funds from overseas, he was unsure how to meet UK mortgage requirements as a non-resident parent buying for a dependent.
🔍 My Solution:
I sourced a specialist lender that accepts expat applicants with foreign income and no recent UK credit footprint. I also helped him set up a UK-based digital bank account with multi-currency support, making international transfers smooth and efficient.
✅ Outcome:
✔ Mortgage approved with an expat-friendly lender
✔ Funds transferred securely through a multi-currency banking solution
✔ Property purchased in time for his son’s first term at university
✔ Established a valuable foothold in the UK property market
✔ Secured a long-term family asset for the future
💬 Client Testimonial:
“As a British expat in Dubai, I wasn’t sure how to arrange a UK mortgage for my son’s university accommodation. Lyndsey made everything simple. From finding the right lender to helping with banking arrangements, his guidance was invaluable. The whole process was smooth and stress-free.”
— Graham, Dubai Executive
