UK Property Finance for
Hong Kong & Singapore Capital
offshore structures understood, not declined
For BN(O) families building a life in the UK, family offices with London in mandate, and capital already lawfully structured offshore — we arrange the finance.
FCA-Authorised · Based in London- No UK Residency
- No UK Bank Account

What We Finance
From trophy homes in Belgravia and Mayfair, to hotel and office conversions in Knightsbridge, to whole blocks of flats across Prime Central London.
We arrange finance for Hong Kong, Singapore and offshore-structured capital across every asset class.
Complex situations. Completed purchases.
No UK footprint, concentrated portfolios, enhanced due diligence. The more complex the situation, the more closely we structure it. Four recent completions:
Eight flats, one building, one facility
An overseas landlord based in Asia needed equity released from eight new-build apartments in a single development — a concentration most lenders refuse.

First UK purchase, no UK footprint
A Turkish national was convinced the purchase would fall through — no UK presence, no credit history. Four weeks later, he had the keys.

A politically exposed person, approved

From Mumbai to a London landmark
A non-resident Indian national with no UK credit history bought on one of London's most iconic streets — generational wealth, made real.
Read the case studyHow we think
We begin with the structure, not the product.
Every enquiry is assessed in the context of ownership, income, jurisdiction, timeframe and what the property is actually for — a family base, a child's university years, a portfolio, a legacy. Only then do we approach the lenders whose appetite genuinely fits.
Market Update: Specialist lenders are now explicitly underwriting Hong Kong employment income for BN(O) visa holders in transition — availability is materially better than twelve months ago. Most high-street banks still are not.
Speak to usThree markets. One destination. One structural problem — solved.
Hong Kong, Singapore and Greater China are three structurally distinct markets that share one destination: UK property. The capital is sophisticated, the mandates are clear, and the legal structures — BVI, Cayman, Hong Kong and Singapore entities — are long established.
The structural problem sits on the UK side. Most high-street lenders decline or heavily restrict offshore-entity borrowers, non-UK income, and complex beneficial ownership. A Hong Kong family with a BVI holding company, a Singapore SPV with a commercial mandate, a BN(O) household with income in transition — each is routinely turned away by institutions that were never set up to assess them.
Our panel includes the specialist and private-bank lenders explicitly established for these profiles. We prepare the structure and documentation first, approach the right institutions once, and manage the transaction from London — where the lending decisions are made.

BN(O) Families — In the UK or Relocating
Over 180,000 BN(O) route visas have been granted since 2021. Many Hong Kong families face the same friction: mainstream lenders that cannot underwrite Hong Kong employment income in transition, HKD income, or HK-domiciled assets. Specialist lenders can — and the terms have improved markedly.
Hong Kong & Singapore Family Offices
Family offices and private-bank clients with UK property in mandate — PCL residential, commercial, BTR and development. We sit alongside your existing banking relationships as the UK-side finance specialist, for the transactions that fall outside a private bank's standard product shelf.
Chinese Families with Capital Lawfully Offshore
Families whose capital is already legally structured through BVI, Cayman, Hong Kong or Singapore entities, deploying into UK property. We work exclusively with capital that is lawfully offshore, and complete full source-of-wealth documentation before any lender is approached.
Documentation First. Lenders Second.
The compliance layer is not an obstacle. Handled properly, it is the advantage.
We complete AML, KYC and source-of-wealth documentation before approaching any lender — so the process is dignified, the timeline is predictable, and the lender conversation is about the deal rather than the paperwork. We work exclusively with capital that is already lawfully offshore. FCA-authorised: documented, regulated, auditable — not discretionary.
Our Standard
AML before lenders
Every mandate. No exceptions.
From Victoria Harbour to the Thames — we arrange the finance.
London: the jurisdiction Hong Kong and Singapore capital already understands.
Common Law, Absolute Title
Hong Kong and Singapore operate under common law — the UK's legal architecture is familiar, not foreign. Independent judiciary, transparent Land Registry, and title security that has anchored Asian capital in London for decades.
A Market Built for Structures
The UK lending market — at the specialist and private-bank level — accommodates BVI, Cayman, Hong Kong and Singapore entities, multi-currency income and layered ownership. The structures your advisers have already built can be financed here, correctly.
Education & the Long View
London's schools and universities have drawn Hong Kong and Singaporean families for generations. For BN(O) households and family offices alike, UK property is rarely a trade — it is an anchor for the next generation.
Being in London is the point.
We are in the UK lending market every day — we know which lenders are moving, which structures are being approved, and what is actually happening in UK property finance right now. For a Hong Kong or Singapore acquirer, a specialist on the ground in London is exactly what the transaction needs.
We Structure
We assess your profile and structure first — BN(O) transitional income, offshore entity, family office SPV — and complete the documentation file before any lender sees your name.
We Match
Our panel includes specialist and private-bank lenders explicitly set up for BVI, Cayman, HK and Singapore-entity borrowers and HKD or SGD income profiles. We approach the right institutions, once.
We Deliver
From Decision in Principle to completion, we manage the UK finance process from London — coordinating with your solicitors, tax advisers and bankers at every stage, in both time zones' working hours where needed.

THE DESTINATIONLondon
Where the assets are, where the lenders are, and where we are. Prime Central London residential, commercial, BTR and development — financed by institutions that understand the structures behind the capital.
The Structural Point
The capital is ready. The structures exist. The only missing layer is UK-side finance from lenders who understand both — and that is the layer we provide.
Every mandate handled personally. Never a volume operation.
Five structures we arrange
Hong Kong Family · BVI Company
Prime Central London residential acquisition through an established BVI holding company. £3m–£15m. Private-bank mortgage, typically around 60% LTV. AML and beneficial-ownership file completed before the lender conversation begins.
Singapore Family Office · SPV
London commercial investment through a Singapore-domiciled SPV. £10m–£40m, 5–10 year term. 60–65% LTV typically available with strong income cover, from lenders explicitly comfortable with Singapore sponsors.
BN(O) Family · Transitional Income
A UK family home, £1m–£5m, underwritten on Hong Kong employment income in transition. Specialist lenders now address this profile directly — availability is materially better than it was twelve months ago.
Singapore-Sponsored BTR Development
UK build-to-rent development, £20m–£80m GDV, with a Singapore sponsor and a UK SPV as the borrowing entity. Senior development finance, with mezzanine and JV equity structuring where appropriate.
Hong Kong Emigrant · BTL Portfolio
A UK buy-to-let portfolio built after relocation — three to eight properties, £500k–£3m in total. Portfolio buy-to-let and HMO finance, structured for growth rather than assembled one mortgage at a time.
Figures indicate typical transaction parameters for these structures, not guaranteed terms. Every mandate is assessed individually against lender criteria. Structure, tax and legal questions — including SDLT, the Register of Overseas Entities and ATED — are referred to your UK solicitor and tax adviser.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Specialist lenders on our panel explicitly underwrite Hong Kong employment income for BN(O) visa holders in transition — including HKD-denominated income and employment histories that sit partly in Hong Kong. No UK credit history is required. This is the single most common enquiry we receive from Hong Kong families, and the answer is more favourable than most expect.
