US Citizen buying property in UK

Hi Guys,

I am a US citizen (working in the US) and am thinking of buying an apartment in the UK. Any guidance on loan providers / agents who can help would be much appreciated.

Thanks and Regards,
--Sal

Not sure how easy it will be if you are non-resident, I think you would need a hefty deposit.

yup, pretty much, always been a little tough if your not resident, more so now without a large deposit.
