It’s important to decide how you’re going to finance the
purchase of your property abroad. Although most property
abroad is undoubtedly cheaper than its UK equivalent, it
is still a substantial investment. It makes sense to
investigate the options for financing the purchase so that
you can decide which is the best option for you.
The first thing to note is that UK mortgage companies will not
give you a mortgage on a property abroad. If you need to take
out a mortgage, you have two options:
Re-mortgage your current property. If you can get a re-mortgage
for all or part of the value of your current home, you may be
able to pay for your property abroad outright. Shop around for
a good deal, because if you can’t keep up the mortgage payments,
your home in the UK could be repossessed.
Mortgage with a foreign bank. Banks in the country where you
are purchasing your property abroad will give you a mortgage.
If you are buying somewhere that’s popular with overseas owners,
you will be able to find a bank or mortgage broker that can
speak English and talk you through the details. Alternatively,
a mortgage broker, like our mortgage expert, can act as an
intermediary between you and the bank to ensure that you have
the funds to buy your property abroad.
There are other finance options to help you buy your property
abroad. They include:
Equity release this is a finance arrangement with a bank or
other finance provider, where they release a certain percentage
of the value of your Home in return for a mortgage over that
percentage of your home that has been released. The interest
rates on these types of loans can be higher than traditional
mortgage rates, but they do allow you to release a capital
amount that could be enough to buy your property abroad.
Joint ownership buying your property abroad with friends or
family means that you get the property you want with less capital
outlay. If you buy your property this way, you will have to set
down in clear legal terms who owns how much of the property, and
have something in place that covers you if the other party wants
to sell their share.
Use your pension if you are in a position to use the tax-
free lump sum portion of your pension then this could be a way
to finance the purchase of your property abroad. Make sure that
you know exactly how much you’re entitled to cash in, and check
the rules of your scheme before you commit to paying for your
property.
Savings if you have enough savings built up to finance your
property abroad, then use them. Be aware though, that there is
no guarantee that the price of your property will rise, and that
you or your heirs will get the same amount of money back when
the property is re-sold.

Dear friend,
Greetings in the name of the Lord,As you read this, I don’t
want you to feel sorry for me,because, I know everyone will
die someday.
My name is Mr Sal Rabb a merchant in
Dubai, in the U.A.E.I have been diagnosed with Esophageal
cancer. It has defiled all forms of medical treatment, and
right now I have only about a few months to live, according
to medical experts.
I have not particularly lived my life so well, as I never
really cared for anyone but my
business.Though I am very rich, I was never Generous, I was
always hostile to people and only focused on my business as
that was the only thing I cared for.But now I regret all
this, as I now know that there is more to life
than just wanting to have or make all the money in the
world. I have willed out most of my property and assets to
my immediate and extended family members as well as a few
close friends.
I have decided to give alms to charity organizations,as I
want this one of the last good deeds I do on earth.
So far, I have distributed money to some charity
organizations in the U.A.E, Algeria and Malaysia. Now that
my health has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this
myself anymore. I once asked members of my family to close
one of my accounts and distribute the money that I have
there to charity organization in Bulgaria and Pakistan,
they refused and kept the money to themselves. Hence, I do
not trust them anymore, as they are not contended
with what I have left for them.
The last of my money which no one knows of is the huge cash
deposit of eighteen million dollars $18,000,000,00 that I
have with a finance/Security Company abroad. I will want
you to help me collect this deposit and dispatch it to
charity organizations.I have set aside 10% for your time.
God be with you.
Sal Rabb

This appears to be an advance fee fraud scam, also known as a 419 scam in the U.S. It works in a matter that you send the person your banking information so they can give you all of this money. They say they will send you an initial check for like $10k, but then say something came up and they need money wired back so they make the check for $15k and want $5k wired back. So you cash the check and send the money, a week later your bank catches up with the paper trail of the bogus international check and freezes your account. And you are stuck paying for everything. Hope this helped.
