Building long-term wealth should not feel complicated or out of reach, wherever you happen to be based. That belief sits at the heart of Joseph Mews, and it ran through every conversation at our first UK Property Investment Seminar in Malta with RE/MAX.
Malta is a market we have been active in for some time. This event was different. Hosted in partnership with RE/MAX Malta, the evening marked the start of a strategic partnership that strengthens our presence across Europe. The timing matters. European buyers remain the largest single group of overseas applicants looking at British property, accounting for 54% of international registrations in the first quarter of 2026 according to Hamptons research using Connells Group data. Demand from the continent has held firm while other regions have softened.
Here at Joseph Mews, our mission has not changed. We want UK property investment to be accessible, transparent and properly supported, through trusted partnerships and specialist expertise, and we’re committed to making that happen.
Building a Stronger European Investor Network
Andrew Segal, Managing Partner (UK & EU) at Joseph Mews, was joined by Kevin Buttigieg, Chairman of RE/MAX Malta, to officially launch the partnership.
Andrew leads Joseph Mews’ distribution and investment strategy across the UK and Europe, drawing on decades of experience delivering property launches in global markets. He set out how a fully managed approach works in practice, covering acquisition, finance, asset management and long-term portfolio growth.
Together, Joseph Mews and RE/MAX Malta combine specialist UK property expertise with an established local presence. If you are investing from Malta, that means direct access to carefully selected UK opportunities, with experienced professionals supporting you locally and throughout the ownership journey.
This collaboration goes well beyond a single event. It reflects a long-term plan to build a network of trusted regional partners across Europe, and Malta is the first step.
Financing a UK Property from Overseas
Sophia Kazmi, Director of Maidwell Group, joined the panel to address the question most overseas investors ask first. How do you actually finance a UK property from abroad?
Maidwell Group specialises in overseas mortgage finance, and Sophia has spent years helping international buyers secure UK lending. She walked through the criteria lenders apply to non-UK residents, the mortgage structures available, and realistic loan-to-value expectations. For many attendees, it turned an abstract ambition into a set of concrete numbers.
What Is Driving the UK Regional Market
Oliver Thacker, Senior Investment Consultant at Prosperity Wealth, represented the developer side of the equation. Prosperity Wealth delivers residential developments across some of the UK’s fastest-growing regional cities.
Oliver covered the fundamentals behind today’s market: large-scale regeneration programmes, employment growth, and the factors underpinning tenant demand and capital appreciation. Hearing directly from the team responsible for sourcing and delivering developments gave attendees a level of transparency that is rarely available. You could see how an opportunity is identified, how it is built out, and what support looks like after completion.
If you are buying from overseas, the sessions pointed to the same practical order of play. Confirm what you can borrow before you commit to a specific development. Your loan-to-value sets your realistic price bracket, and that determines which cities and which schemes are genuinely open to you. Reinforcing a core Joseph Mews principle, successful property investment is not built on individual transactions; it is built on having the right experts around you at every stage.
Who Was in the Room
The presentations delivered the market data, but some of the most useful moments came afterwards, in conversation. The audience showed exactly why UK property continues to attract such a broad range of investors.
- First-time investors taking their first step toward a tangible asset in the UK market.
- Experienced portfolio holders looking to diversify away from volatile assets like stocks and bonds into something income-generating.
- Families planning ahead, exploring UK property as a dual-purpose solution, providing accommodation for children studying in the UK now while creating a lasting family asset for later.
Everyone arrived with a different background, timeline and financial goal. The ambition underneath was the same: a straightforward, secure route to building long-term wealth through UK property.
