Buyer guideUS buyer (non-resident)
Long build timelines plus US compliance leave very few lenders.
US buyers & off-plan guideUAE / GCC-based buyer
Panel narrows; developers usually want staged cash before an offer exists.
Buyer guideEU buyer (non-resident)
Widest off-plan appetite of any non-resident profile.
Buyer guideSwiss / Norwegian buyer
Available, with the offer confirmed close to handover.
Buyer guideSpanish resident / fiscal resident
Developer-linked lending and subrogation of the builder's loan available.
Corporate / SPV purchase
Rarely funded before completion; bridging covers the gap.
