Buying property abroad mortgage dilemma

Posts: 3,894 Forumite
We are intending to buy an apartment in Austria.
My question is this, we have sufficient equity in our home to increase our mortgage and then pay cash for the Austrian property. Would this be better than getting a mortgage on the property itself, bearing in mind that it will be rented out for some of the time?

Doing it this way normally makes the whole process a lot easier and quicker as you do not have to get involved in foreign mortgage scenarios.
