Euro mortgages

My son has a Property being built in Budapest and 25% down the remainder wil need to be mortgaged from early 2010. Although he is likely to be employed at this time he will not necessarily have more than a years employment history and to a degree this will be on a self employed/fixed contract basis. We will, have to, I believe, stand as guarantors for a mortgage. Where would we start to look? Any advice?

    Are you saying your Son has committed to buy a property abroad but does not know how to pay for it? Is he currently a student, so not employed?

    He no longer a student but yes he has made 25% payment on an off plan build. As for paying a morgage will be the way of course but where to apply and what kind? A year to plan at least but advice sought.

    UK banks won't, as far as I aware, lend money secured on a property outside of the UK. Perhaps somebody will be along soon to prove me wrong.

    cant you remortgage your property then get a solicitor to draw up a contract between you and him to enable him to pay you back the amount that you have remortgaged, same interest rate and every thing

    Is there any way out of the agreement?

    Or does he perhaps plan to live there?
