Some Brits are able to get better loans then 70% LTV in specific developments. This is mostly in FL where there are a lot of holiday lets (UK term for short term rental areas where you rent on a weekly basis). The lenders are specifically targeting the British buyers in FL. No comment on if such purchases make sense economically.
Otherwise Lori's advice is 'spot on'. I know this is not what the Sunday Times classifieds imply but the reality is as she describes.
You can get loans without a social security number with enough of a down payment.
What many UK investors end up doing in many transactions is to borrow out equity in the UK and then make a large down payment in the US.
I live 2/3 of my time in Britain and invest there as well as the US. Hence if there other questions I likely will know your options.
