NEWS: HSBC Expands International Mortgage Offerings

Great News for International Home Buyers in the UK

HSBC UK has broadened its mortgage services for non-UK residents, opening up opportunities for homeownership in the United Kingdom. As of Tuesday, May 14th, 2024, residents from five additional countries can now apply for a UK residential mortgage through HSBC UK.

The newly added eligible countries and regions are:

Egypt: Residents can proceed with their mortgage application, provided they meet all other relevant criteria.

Malaysia: Malaysian residents are now welcome to apply for a UK mortgage with HSBC UK, subject to fulfilling the necessary requirements.

Philippines: Filipino citizens can take advantage of this expanded offering by submitting their mortgage application, provided they satisfy the bank’s criteria.

Qatar: For prospects and clients from Qatar, they must be existing HSBC UK customers, and ensure that all criteria have been met before proceeding with their application.

Taiwan: Taiwanese residents can now explore homeownership in the UK by applying for a mortgage through HSBC UK, as long as they meet the requisite conditions.

This expansion of HSBC UK’s international mortgage services underscores the bank’s commitment to catering to the diverse needs of its global clientele. By extending its reach to these five additional countries, HSBC UK is facilitating homeownership dreams for a broader range of individuals seeking to invest in UK property.

Interested applicants from the newly added countries can reach out to our specialist mortgage brokers for guidance on how best to proceed.

Broker quote:

This is likely to be a better option than normal expat products for eligible clients (earning £75k or more or with an existing HSBC bank relationship).

The main advantage is you get the freebies like a free property valuation and free legals. Product fees are standard and are higher than high-street options, but are still very competitive compared to most expat building societies.
