LAST EDITED ON 09-Dec-02 AT 01:05 PM (GMT) I have a friend who lives in Japan, he's British married to a Japanese, they don't own any property anywhere as yet. They are both working, he is employed, she is self-employed. He has bank accounts in both the UK & Japan. So they're now wanting to buy a house in France. Where does he go for a mortgage??? I've suggested a UK bank such as HSBC & get a euro mortgage OR to the French arm of Abbey National/Woolwich OR try the French route & go to a French bank. 1.Has anyone been through this or does anyone have any ideas what he should do/look for in getting a mortgage? 2.Can anyone offer advice about which bank gives a good service? 3.Anyone got some good internet links for banks & comparisons on Euro mortgages? 4.Do you think it'll be easy to get a mortgage considering the 'internationality' of it all??? Mazan/Baz et al ... are you there????!!!! BONNE NOEL Kira (I think he was going to post this himself but got scared off with all the nonsense on here lately!!)
