advisers will contact you to discuss your requirements.
Approval in Principle
For all countries we are able to offer an approval in principle service. We will
ask you to complete our confidential information form. This provides us with sufficient
information about your finances to advise you of the likely hood of obtaining finance.
In some cases we can obtain a formal approval in principle directly from the lender
which is particularly comforting for new build purchases where you need to commit
to a purchase way in advance of applying for the mortgage.

If you wish to proceed, we will send you a full application pack. Any required application
forms will be pre-populated with the information you have already supplied. We will
supply you with a specific document requirements checklist and additional information
and tips about your purchase.
During the purchase
Once you have returned you application to us, as well as processing the application,
we will provide you with guidance on the whole process. We will monitor your application
with the lender closely and provide you with regular updates and explanation of
any terms when the offer is produced. We will liaise with your other chosen professionals
to help with your understanding of the complexities of your purchase such as buying
through a company, residency permits, taxation issues, life cover assignment etc.
Additional Services
As with the UK, you will be required to insure the property. Many Overseas lenders
also insist on Life Cover. In some cases an existing plan may be used if it meets
the minimum requirements. It is important this issue is not left too late, as you
may be unable to complete on your purchase until cover is in place, which can sometimes
be delayed by requirements for medical information. Our recommended independent
advisers can provide specific advice.

£395 on mortgage application and 0.5% of the mortgage (minimum £500) on sucessful
completion.
