Property Financing Options
Overseas buyers and investors can obtain finance to purchase UK property. This is a more specialised area and there are some extra criteria from the banks and finance companies for non-UK residents.
Capricorn Finance offices are based across the world and in the Middle East. They specialise in this market sector and have developed the expertise to advise and assist investors to buy and develop UK property portfolios for many of their clients.
Capricorn provides solutions for residential mortgages, buy-to-let, commercial finance, development finance, HMO (House of Multiple Occupation), bridging loans, second charges, equity loans, luxury asset purchases, general insurance, and foreign exchange services.
