Validus Financial Services operates an overseas mortgage brokerage for clients wishing to borrow money for property purchases in the same country as the property, outside of the UK.

Overseas mortgages often have lower interest rates than in the UK, which lowers the cost of borrowing, and it may be more tax-efficient to take a local mortgage when buying overseas property to offset mortgage payments against rental income received thus reducing net income. More generally it may be sensible to borrow at an attractive interest rate to gear your property purchase, and thus commit as little cash as possible to any one purchase.

Validus are part of the VEF Group, a property group established for more than 20 years. VEF, The French division of the VEF Group, specialises in France – it is without question the market leader for French property in the UK and Ireland with 28 offices in the UK, Ireland and France, and a comprehensive property service from initial consultation through to legal and translation services all by the in-house VEF team.

Although Validus focuses on the emerging markets, because of its connection with VEF it operates a busy French mortgage desk for VEF clients and others buying property in France. In addition, we assist our clients in raising finance in all the countries in which we work.
