Hi,

I'm a UK landlord who lives overseas (in Israel). I would like to take a mortgage to buy a commercial property.

I am interested to know what information a lender will require from me. Advice from a UK landlord who lives overseas - like myself - would be especially helpful, as lenders may require documentation that they wouldn't from a UK resident. For example they might require my income tax returns both for UK and for Israel. Or for example they might wish to see documentation regarding my flat in Israel which I jointly own.

I would like to have all the relevant information on hand before I approach a lender, so that the process of buying a property and getting a mortgage will go smoothly and quickly.

With thanks,
