The Challenge Matrix
ZAR, AED, TRY, HKD, USD and EUR earnings assessed by lenders that accept overseas income — not just sterling payslips.
Lenders typically discount foreign income by a margin to cover currency swings. We target the panels with the lightest haircut for your currency.
We work alongside your exchange-control and tax advisers so funds, allowances and structures are lined up before an offer is issued.
Buy in your own name or through a UK limited company, with lenders that accept non-resident directors and shareholders.
Remote ID, digital signatures and broker calls arranged around your working day overseas.
Specialist lenders who underwrite on overseas credit history and assets when you have little or no UK file.
