Building a Deposit: Investing abroad

This is rather a long shot but one that more and more first time buyers are considering as a way of getting a deposit for a property in the UK. The thinking is that there are some locations where if you buy early – perhaps even before the property is built (buying off-plan) that in a few years the increase in equity in that property will yield enough to create a healthy mortgage deposit back home.

You can find out more about buying property abroad in our investing in property abroad section.
