As you are no doubt aware by now, Absa Home Loans recently introduced an International Mortgage offering to the market.
Our Service Offering:
Together, Barclays and Absa have designed a proposition making it possible for South African’s wishing to buy property abroad as well as non-South African residents looking to invest in South Africa. Whether non-residents purchase property as holiday homes, or for investment purposes, Absa has a dedicated team of specialists available to assist our customers through the process.
When it comes to buying in the UK or in various countries where Barclays has a presence, Absa International Mortgages will initially intercede on behalf of South African customers who wish to make use of Barclays International Mortgage Services to acquire property off-shore. We are therefore in a position to address customer needs in terms of property finance for both onshore and offshore flows of purchase.
ABSA Product Offering:
The product works like a normal home loan, except the loan amounts and conditions are subject to the exchange control policy as set by the government and the Reserve Bank. The amount of capital each SA citizen is allowed to take out of the country is R2-million per person at present. SA citizens can apply for additional exchange control approval to by property in SADC countries.
ABSA distribution footprint:
