Case Study: UK Expat in Australia Secures Self-Build Mortgage with Liquid Expat

Self Build Mortgage Finance Case Study

John, a UK expatriate living in Australia for over a decade, felt a growing desire to return to the UK to be closer to his aging parents and extended family. He envisioned building a custom home in his hometown to accommodate his family’s needs and provide a comfortable living space for the future. However, obtaining a self-build mortgage while living abroad posed significant challenges.

The Challenge

Navigating the mortgage market as an expatriate can be daunting, especially for self-build projects. John faced multiple hurdles:

• Income in a foreign currency (Australian dollars)
• Limited recent UK credit activity
• Distinct regulatory and documentation requirements for expatriates

John needed a mortgage broker who could understand these complexities and provide a tailored solution.
