Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get an HSBC mortgage as an expat living abroad?
Yes, HSBC is one of the leading UK lenders for expat mortgages. They accept applicants living in many countries worldwide and can assess overseas income. You may need an HSBC international banking relationship to qualify.
Does HSBC offer fee-free mortgages?
Yes, HSBC offers a range of fee-free mortgage products with no arrangement or booking fees. These typically come with slightly higher interest rates compared to their fee-paying equivalents.
