Borrowing in Australia to buy in UK
Would a bank entertain the thought of lending me money to purchase a buy to let property in the UK?

Not sure if it makes a difference but the mortgage is currently a joint one with myself and my ex partner, she currently lives in the house and i was looking at the possibility of buying her out alltogether.

Don't see why not, you are paying it ok now I guess? Only problem I had was they wanted to turn it in to a buy to let mortgage (higher interest) I told them it was my main home and that I would only be in Oz for 2 years, they agreed to leave it as a normal mortgage for now.
