There is a similar website for American expats living (or intending to live) in the UK with many forums and is free of charge:

Expats moving or returning to the UK and having difficulty arranging a mortgage (eg. due to no recent UK credit history) may be able to find one via these insurance brokers:

(Note: I have no links with these brokers and haven't used them - caveat emptor).

Nope, 15 nowadays  ! Everything's done online as well, they don't accept paper applications anymore. Where did you end up going?

This gives you information on whatever house you look up, how much it last went for and when, good if you want to check how much ppl have bought and sold for.

great to look at if you find a house you want to buy, you can see what the last seller bought it for.
