Can you get a french mortgage for property in th UK ?

i've heard that the french mortgage rate is a lot lower than ours. As we're all "EU" memebers, can i get a french mortgage for a uk property ?

Answers:
You might be able to if you also owned a property in France (ie if your UK house was a holiday house). The financial regulations of each country differ, and therefore financial institutions have to be registered in that particular country in order to offer certain financial services. The issue with a mortgage, for example, is that if a French bank lent to you, they wouldn't be able to repossess a UK house in the event of non-payment. If the mortgage was guaranteed on a french property, of course, there wouldn't be a problem.
No, as you're not in France.You pay British mortgage rates as you are in Britain.
The mortgage rate is based on the base rate that is inherent to the country that you're in. And in the UK, it keeps on going up. However, let me know if you find out otherwise, getting round it like that would otherwise be genius!
Your second home can be bought in england by cash from a french mortage tied to a french home.

Pension Plan
Using a pension plan to accumulate the balance of your mortgage is a tax free saving scheme. The balance of your house will be saved over a period of time until you can pay your final balance. If you do intend to use a pension fund to save for the balance of your house, consideration should be taken into account to open another pension fund for retirement purposes too.

ISA Plan
With an ISA plan you invest in stocks and shares via an Individual Savings Account (ISA) - which is a tax-free method of saving. This method of saving may not be suitable for most borrowers. Before considering this option you should consult with an independent financial adviser.
Endowment
An endowment is still the most common type of interest only mortgage which also provides life assurance cover and a fixed payment for investment. The endowment policy along with the interest only mortgage should in effect end at the same time, leaving you with the ownership of your home and nothing to pay. Endowments have undergone much criticism; this is due to investors being promised high returns from their investments. However lately this has not been the case, borrowers have found their investments have been as good as expected and a shortfall in the end amount of invested cash will not match the amount owed on the current property.
Taking into account the recent problems that have arisen regarding endowment policies it is worth remembering that returns on endowment policies have been pretty good, however you do need to see the term out in full. Also endowments do provide life assurance as part of the actual policy, so in the unfortunate event of a death the mortgage balance is paid in full.
Advantages of an interest only mortgage
• Your investments and savings could accumulate more than the required amount to cover the final payment; this could leave you more cash for your own personal use.
• Some plans have good tax benefits and help reach the required amount it a quicker and cheaper rate.
Disadvantages of an interest only mortgage
• In the unfortunate event of your investments not acquiring the designated amount of cash to cover the loan repayment, the investor could face a shortfall which they will then need to pay. If you are worried about a shortfall on your investment, you should keep in touch with your investor and request regular updates on the situation of your endowment. If the worst comes to the worst, you can increase payments to compensate for the loss of investment.
• Cashing in your endowment, ISA or pension could have adverse effects on the amount of money you have saved over the past however many years. If you do decide to cash in any existing policies you may be subjected to a penalty, this could be a cash amount specified by the investment company/lender. Please seek professional advice if you are worried about the end results of your finances, don’t be too hasty as most policies accumulate more of the cash in the final year
