WHAT WE DO

A Mortgage Broker for Non-Residents

Upscore is a mortgage broker for non-residents buying property abroad. 

Our Finance Passport pre-qualifies you with multiple local banks in your target country — so you know your borrowing range, deposit requirement, and best bank match before you make an offer on a property.

Multi-Bank Comparison

We work with all largest banks in Spain, Portugal and the UAE. You apply once, we compare for you.

Data-Driven Matching

Our recommendations are based on analysis of 12,000+ real mortgage applications.

Regulated and Free

FCA authorised (ref #1011029). Our service is free — we earn a commission from the bank that approves your mortgage.

OUR DATA

Every Recommendation Backed by Real Transactions

Since September 2024, we have processed over 12,000 mortgage applications from buyers of 40+ nationalities purchasing property in Spain, Portugal, UAE, and other European markets. Our content team analyses this data to produce guides that include:

Actual LTV ranges from signed deals — not marketing estimates

Real deposit requirements based on what banks approved

Bank preferences by nationality and employment type

Timelines from application to signing based on completed transactions

"When we say 'CaixaBank approved 50% of signed UK deals,' that figure comes from our own transaction records, not third-party research."
