Default Can I get a UK mortgage whilst living in Dubai?

Hi,
We are currently looking at moving to Dubai for 2 years but will need a UK property for when we return. Can we get one when working in Dubai?

Interesting thread! Have been thinking of doing something similar, I'm just not sure if possible. Can someone confirm if it is possible to buy a house in the UK whilst working in Saudi? Does one require a larger deposit? (etc)

Should add: British citizen, currently living in Oz, job offer in Saudi - looking to return to UK post-job...

Yes you can buy in the UK whilst living in Saudi. You would need to be in permanent employment and the usual references are required. As the property would not be your main residence, a slightly lower loan to value would be available, but it depends on your circumstances.
