FAQ
-
Can I buy UK property while living abroad as an expat?
Yes — absolutely! UK law allows non-residents and expats to buy property with very few restrictions. The process is very similar to buying while living in the UK. The main difference is that you’ll need to work with a solicitor experienced in dealing with overseas clients. We’ll guide you through every step so you can purchase with confidence, even from thousands of miles away.
-
Do you also invest in property yourselves?
Yes - we actively invest in the areas in which we source properties for our investors. We are always looking for new deals and working with our power team.
-
Is it possible to secure a UK mortgage from overseas?
Yes — many lenders offer specialist expat mortgages. We can introduce you to trusted mortgage brokers who regularly work with expats and know which lenders are open to your situation.
-
How do I know if now is the right time to invest?
I always say, the best time to invest in property was twenty years ago. The second best time is now!
Property is a long-term asset, and buying in areas with strong rental demand and good fundamentals (jobs, infrastructure, regeneration) is far more important than short-term price movements.
-
Which investment strategy is best suited to my goals?
It depends on what you want to achieve. Some investors prioritise monthly cash flow, while others focus on capital growth for long-term wealth building.
-
What kind of returns can I realistically expect annually?
In our asset area a well chosen buy-to-let property can generate 5–8% gross rental yield. When factoring in mortgage leverage and potential capital growth, total annual returns can often reach 10–12%+ over the medium to long term.
-
What makes Propello Network different?
We specialise in helping expats and overseas investors — that means we understand the unique challenges of buying from abroad. We personally source every property and only recommend deals we’d invest in ourselves. Our network includes mortgage brokers, solicitors, tax specialists, and letting agents, so you have a complete, hassle-free solution.
-
Are you fully compliant?
Yes — fully compliant with UK property sourcing regulations. We are registered with the Property Redress Scheme, hold PII and PIL insurance and are compliant with AML (Anti-Money Laundering) requirements. This means you are protected and working with a professional, legitimate business.
-
How much do I need to get started with UK property investment?
This depends on the property price and type of investment you choose. For a buy-to-let property, most lenders require a 25% deposit, plus you’ll need funds for legal fees, stamp duty, surveys, legal and sourcing fees.
-
Who owns the property?
You do. The property is purchased in your name (or your company’s name, if using a limited company structure). We simply help you find, negotiate, and complete the purchase — you retain full legal ownership and control.
-
Why should I pay you to find me a property?
Our sourcing fee saves you time, stress, and costly mistakes. We identify the best deals, negotiate below-market prices, run due diligence, and connect you with a trusted team to handle the entire process. This means you avoid overpaying, buy in the right area, and get a property that meets your goals — without spending months searching, guessing and potentially making very costly mistakes.
