Don;t ask here, you'll get people who think they know, but that won;t help if it comes to a legal dispute. You'll need to get proper legal advice for this sort of thing.Basicly i need legal advice, what are the laws regarding foreign nationals buying property in england?
Doesn't seem to be a problem.
no nationals are allowed to buy in this county but do not get the same tax allowances as nationals ie all transactions by non nationals attract stap duty
As a US citizen who has bought and sold in England, there are no restrictions. Had 2 mortgages as well and even rented one out for a while before selling it. Getting the first mortgage was a bit trying since I didn't have credit established in the UK at the time, but a copy of my US credit report solved that quickly and easily.
