Lydian UK Desk

Lending Across Australia and the UK. One Relationship.

Who it is for

Built for internationally connected clients


The Lydian UK Desk is designed for UK expats, Australians returning from the UK, and internationally connected clients who own, or are looking to own, property in both Australia and the United Kingdom.

Through Lydian and our UK lending relationships, we can help coordinate your lending requirements across both markets. Whether you are buying your Australian home, refinancing an existing mortgage, retaining a UK property or building an investment portfolio across both countries, the UK Desk can help you navigate the process.

Our services

Lending on both sides

Australian Home Loans for UK Expats

If you have relocated to Australia, we can help establish and manage your Australian lending, taking into account overseas income, assets, liabilities and property interests.

  • Investment property lending
  • Upgrading or moving home
  • Equity release for property or investment purposes
  • Debt consolidation and loan restructuring

UK Mortgages for Australians & UK Expats

UK Buy-to-Let & Investment Property

For clients retaining or building a UK property portfolio, our focus is not simply arranging the next loan, but understanding how UK property fits within your broader financial position.

  • Portfolio refinancing
  • Releasing equity
  • Reviewing existing mortgage structures
  • Financing additional property purchases
Reviews

Refinancing & mortgage reviews


Property finance should not be set and forgotten. Interest rates, property values, lending policies and your personal circumstances change over time.

The Lydian UK Desk can help review existing lending in both Australia and the UK to identify opportunities to improve the structure, pricing or flexibility of your loans. For clients with property in both countries, this is a chance to look at the lending position as a whole rather than managing each mortgage in isolation.

Complex & private client lending

When the picture is more complicated


International clients often have more complex financial circumstances. You may have income generated in Australia and the UK, multiple properties, business interests, investment income or significant assets spread across jurisdictions.

Where appropriate, we can work alongside your accountant, financial adviser, solicitor and other professional advisers.

  • High-value residential lending
  • High-net-worth borrowers
  • Complex income structures
  • Self-employed and business-owner lending
  • Multiple property portfolios
  • Foreign income considerations
  • Cross-border property ownership
  • Specialist lending requirements
One relationship

Bringing the lending conversation together


For many expats, the difficulty is not obtaining a mortgage. It is managing an increasingly complex financial life across two countries.

The Lydian UK Desk can help you understand your overall debt position, coordinate lending requirements and provide an ongoing relationship as your circumstances change.

Our service does not finish when your loan settles. As your property portfolio, career and financial circumstances evolve, your lending strategy should evolve with them.

You might have
  • A home in Australia
  • An investment property in London
  • Income in Australia
  • A mortgage in the UK
