What I need to know

HSBC helps customers buy properties in many parts of the world. Whether you're relocating because of your work or buying your dream holiday home in the sun, linked-up banking means you can tap into HSBC Premier's network of on-the-ground expertise.

You'll easily be able to get hold of someone at HSBC who has first-hand knowledge of the local property market and who can take you through the ins and outs of the buying process and the options available.

For example, we'll be able to help you decide if it's more advantageous to buy in the local currency or take out your mortgage at home or abroad.

And because HSBC Premier means an upfront agreement in principle to borrow from the bank before you choose your property, being armed with a pre-arranged mortgage means you'll be able to move fast when you spot that hot property.
