Can foreigners get a mortgage for buying in Lagos Portugal?
Yes of course! Pretty much every bank offers non-resident mortgages for foreigners. While local Lagos residents have better finance options (example finance between 80-90% as opposed to 70-75%), the conditions/rates offered are very similar. Like most countries, you´ll need to supply yearly income tax reports, monthly payslips (proof of income) and a few other documents. Also most banks will ask for a credit report and/or credir score from your own country. Elite Realty works with one or two hand picked Mortgage Brokers in Lagos specifically who can analyze your situation and advise you which bank is best for you and get you that pre-approval. Its important to get pre-approved or to speak with a Broker BEFORE searching for your home in Lagos as this may affect your budget.

Can foreigners get a mortgage for buying in Lagos Portugal?
Can foreigners get a mortgage for buying in Lagos Portugal?
Yes of course! Pretty much every bank offers non-resident mortgages for foreigners. While local Lagos residents have better finance options (example finance between 80-90% as opposed to 70-75%), the conditions/rates offered are very similar. Like most countries, you´ll need to supply yearly income tax reports, monthly payslips (proof of income) and a few other documents. Also most banks will ask for a credit report and/or credir score from your own country. Elite Realty works with one or two hand picked Mortgage Brokers in Lagos specifically who can analyze your situation and advise you which bank is best for you and get you that pre-approval. Its important to get pre-approved or to speak with a Broker BEFORE searching for your home in Lagos as this may affect your budget.
