Lender criteria for successful funding is mainly (but not limited to) the following:

  • Countries – some countries have different laws regarding the ownership and purchase of properties abroad

  • Citizenship – A client may be in a non-sanctioned country but have the citizenship of a sanctioned country – This can prove an issue for lenders as well
  • Deposit source – Lenders will want to know where the deposit is being sourced from and that it is not coming from a sanctioned country or a sanctioned individual
  • Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs) – Many lenders will only lend to a UK-registered limited companies (SPVs), even when the owners of that SPV are Foreign Nationals or Ex-Pats
