Our Mortgage Products

Skipton International providing UK mortgages for Expats and non-UK citizens resident overseas.

We lend on a range of properties, from flats to houses, for expats and non-UK residents wishing to purchase in the UK. Overseas residents considering investing in UK Buy-To-Let properties often find gaining a UK mortgage challenging.

Skipton International is based on the Channel Island of Guernsey, an English speaking jurisdiction on the same time zone as the UK. We are also a subsidiary of Skipton Building Society, a top 10 provider of UK mortgages for UK residents. We therefore understand the UK mortgage market and have tailored our products to be delivered as efficiently as possible.

Currently, Skipton International provides UK mortgages secured on properties located in England, Scotland, Wales and the Channel Islands. We do not, however, support properties located in Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man or the islands of Scotland.
