London's Most Enduring Addresses- No UK Residency
- No UK Bank Account
- No UK Credit History
- No UK Footprint
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 Latin American investors 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.

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.
The Dollar Lens: For USD-denominated capital, London affordability is measured in GBP/USD — and Prime Central London sits more than 40% below its 2014 peak in real terms. Timing is a dollar question.
Speak to usWhy Latin American wealth holds sterling.
For Latin American families, wealth preservation is not a slogan — it is the lesson of decades. The real's long depreciation, the peso's history in Mexico, Argentina's recurring crises: each generation has learned the same thing. Wealth that stays in a soft currency does not stay wealth.
That is why serious Latin American capital has been building offshore for decades — in Miami accounts, Cayman and BVI holding companies, Swiss and Luxembourg private banks, US trusts. And it is why UK property is such a natural destination: sterling-denominated, governed by common law, and sitting in one of the world's most liquid real estate markets.
The entry point matters too. Prime Central London sits more than 40% below its 2014 peak in real terms, with meaningful discounts to asking price in the super-prime market. For dollar-held capital, the GBP/USD rate adds a second lever — London is priced in sterling, but your opportunity is measured in dollars.

The Structural Reality We Understand
Your capital is already offshore. That is the starting point — not the problem.
The question for Latin American investors is never "how do we move money out". It is "which UK lenders accept the structure the capital is already in" — a Miami account, a Cayman or BVI company, a Swiss private bank, a US trust. That is a short list in the UK market. We know it, and we know how to present your structure so lenders say yes.
Where the Capital Sits

Zurich · BVI
We work with the structure you already have
From São Paulo to St James's — we arrange the finance.
London: the hard-currency answer to a soft-currency history.
Rule of Law
Independent judiciary, absolute freehold ownership, a transparent Land Registry. Your asset is protected by one of the world's most robust legal systems — property rights that do not change with the political cycle.
Currency Shelter
Sterling stability against decades of real, peso and boliviano volatility. A London property is a hard-currency store of value that preserves purchasing power across generations — the structural need at the heart of Latin American offshore wealth.
Discretion & Standards
We are FCA-regulated, which means our conduct and client protections operate to full UK standards. We prepare your documentation correctly upfront and approach only lenders experienced with Latin American capital — professional, discreet, and about the deal.
The wrong lender treats you like a suspect. The right one treats you like a client.
Some Latin American buyers have had the experience of a UK lender interrogating their capital rather than assessing their deal. That happens when the wrong lender is chosen, or when documentation arrives incomplete. Both are avoidable — and avoiding them is precisely our job.
We Understand the Structure
Miami accounts, Cayman and BVI holding companies, Swiss private banks, US trusts — we understand the offshore architecture Latin American wealth has already adopted, and what each structure means for UK lending.
We Know the Short List
Only a small number of UK lenders genuinely underwrite USD income and offshore-entity borrowers. We approach only institutions with real experience of Latin American capital — so there is no rejection cycle.
We Prepare, Then Deliver
Source-of-wealth documentation prepared correctly before any lender sees your case. From offer to completion, we manage the entire UK finance process from London, coordinating with your solicitors and advisers.
Finance Solutions for Latin American Investors
Prime London

UK residential mortgages for Latin American nationals, assessed on overseas income and global assets — including USD income underwriting. No UK credit history or UK bank account required.

Lending for Cayman and BVI entity borrowers, and UK SPV structures owned by your offshore company. We structure the borrowing entity with your solicitor before approaching lenders — the order matters.

Bridging, Commercial & Development
Short-term capital for acquisitions and chain breaks, commercial investment mortgages, and senior development finance for sponsors entering UK joint ventures.
Where Latin American Investors Are Buying in London
Prime Central London remains the anchor — with yield and commercial plays for capital that wants income as well as preservation.
THE HARD-CURRENCY ASSETPrime Central London
Belgravia, Chelsea, Knightsbridge, Mayfair — the addresses Latin American families have held for generations. Sterling-denominated, deeply liquid, and currently sitting more than 40% below the 2014 peak in real terms.
HERITAGE COREWestminster & St James's
The political and institutional heart of London. Period apartments and townhouses within walking distance of the West End — a favourite of families who want an address that needs no explanation anywhere in the world.
YIELD & COMMERCIALThe City & Canary Wharf
London's two financial districts — residential yield plays with corporate tenant demand, and commercial opportunities for operationally experienced investors. Where dollar-minded capital finds income as well as preservation.
The Window
Prime Central London values sit more than 40% below their 2014 peak in real terms. For capital held in dollars, the GBP/USD rate compounds the opportunity — a double discount that Latin American families understand instinctively.
The window is open — but it will not stay open indefinitely.

Five structures we arrange for Latin American capital
Family Acquisition via Cayman Holding Company
A Brazilian family purchasing Prime Central London residential through an existing Cayman holding structure. Budget: £2m–£15m, 60–70% LTV. The key is lender selection — only a short list of UK lenders is comfortable with Cayman entity borrowers, and robust source-of-wealth documentation makes the difference.
Personal Purchase with Miami-Held USD
A Colombian principal buying PCL residential in their personal name, funded from a Miami bank account. £1m–£5m. One of the cleanest structures for UK lenders — USD income underwriting with US-origin funds — provided the documentation is prepared correctly upfront.
Swiss-Held Capital into UK Commercial
An Argentine family with capital at a Swiss private bank acquiring UK commercial property. £5m–£20m. European-regulated banking is typically the cleanest capital source from a UK lender's perspective; our panel includes lenders comfortable with offshore-structured borrowers at this level.
Family Office BVI Entity Buying Build-to-Rent
A Mexican family office acquiring UK build-to-rent through a BVI company. £10m–£30m. A UK SPV as borrower, with the BVI company as shareholder, is often the cleaner route — structured with your UK solicitor before any lender is approached.
Brazilian Developer in JV with a UK Developer
A Brazilian development sponsor entering a joint venture with a UK developer on a residential scheme. £15m–£60m GDV. Senior development finance with possible mezzanine; a UK SPV borrower and a UK JV partner strengthen the lender case significantly.
Illustrative structures, not offers of finance. Every case depends on individual circumstances, documentation and lender criteria. We arrange finance; we do not provide tax or legal advice — we coordinate with your UK solicitor and international tax adviser.
Five markets. One motivation: preservation.
LARGEST SOURCE MARKETBrazil
Brazilian families have been investing in London for decades — Prime Central London residential is an established asset class for Brazilian wealth. The motivation is consistent: decades of real depreciation and domestic uncertainty make a stable, hard-currency store of value a structural need.
OFFSHORE AS A NORMMexico
The peso's history has made offshore diversification a cultural norm among the Mexican elite. Established family offices hold capital in Miami, New York and Switzerland — and UK property is a familiar, well-understood allocation within that architecture.
PRESERVATION URGENCYArgentina
Recurring peso crises have made hard-currency overseas assets an existential necessity for Argentine families — not merely a portfolio allocation. Sterling, common law and deep liquidity make UK property directly appealing to capital already held offshore.
Colombia
A thriving entrepreneurial class in banking, technology, energy and real estate — increasingly active in London, with a strong tradition of offshore wealth management through Miami and Switzerland.
Chile
The most institutionally developed economy in South America. Chilean family offices are among the region's most sophisticated investors, often already allocated to European real estate and methodical in how they deploy.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Our lender panel includes institutions that regularly arrange UK mortgages for Brazilian nationals and other Latin American buyers. Assessment is based on your overseas income and global assets — no UK credit history, UK bank account or UK residency is required.
