Property investment here and overseas

If you’re new to property investment, it’s important not to enter into it blindly. You probably have lots of questions: where to invest, when to invest, how to renovate from afar and how to rent it out safely. If you’re thinking of buying investment property in Singapore, Australia and the UK we’ve rounded up some companies that deal with international mortgages as well as real estate for you.

Chartwell Associates – property investment in the UK & Australia

Established in 2006 in Singapore, Chartwell Associates Pte Ltd are specialists in the international mortgage market, mainly covering the UK and Australia. They offer independent advice on financing for purchasing a primary residence or investment property as well as re-mortgaging an existing property. The Chartwell team have established relationships with reputable overseas mortgage brokers; this enables them to find the mortgage package that suits an expat’s particular circumstance. They also have extensive experience in the field of property finance, which allows them to help clients structure their loans correctly to ensure maximum tax efficiency and avoid any future problems.

Recommendations

If you’ve only recently moved abroad, you should consider if you still have the best mortgage deal now that you’re an expat. Is your mortgage structured so that it’s most tax efficient? Do you have equity you want to release? Do you want to see how much you can borrow?
