Mortgage rates in Latvia are 2-3 times higher than in Austria and Germany. However, obtaining a loan in Latvia is relatively simple: the process is not time-intensive, and down payments can amount to 30%.

The Baltic state of Latvia is popular with foreign buyers for its low prices, historic atmosphere and quiet appeal. Citizens of other countries are welcome to purchase property in nearly any location excluding border areas, the protective belt of the Gulf of Riga and the Baltic Sea as well as sheltering lines of other bodies of water, farmland and forests. Foreigners can, however, lease this land for up to 99 years.

80% of foreign investors purchasing property in Latvia are Russian with the capital Riga attracting half of all property sales.

Not every Hungarian bank grants loans to non-EU citizens, and some of those that do impose restrictions with respect to property types. For instance, Sberbank Hungary Ltd. offers mortgage loans to foreigners who wish to buy flats and homes in the country’s newly-built and existing property markets.

The United Kingdom is the second most popular destination for education after the USA. Tuition fees are high but the alumni of top British universities benefit from international recognition and have great career prospects worldwide.

Buying property in the UK will not help or simplify residence or citizenship applications. The rights, rules and obligations of foreign citizens in the UK, as well as visa and residence permit requirements can be found on the UK Home Office website.

UK taxes are quite high, especially stamp duty and income tax. Foreign buyers should consult a tax advisor before purchasing real estate to simplify the registration process and minimize the tax burden.

Non-residents can obtain mortgage loans in the United Kingdom on practically the same terms as UK citizens. However, not every UK bank provides loans to non-EU residents. One key advantage of UK mortgages is the relatively small down payment (starting from 20% of the property value). Short loan terms are a key disadvantage (up to five years).
