I have looked into it a little and my Australian banks would not lend to me for a purchase in the UK. My UK bank was happy to lend to me If I could show them a suitable income in GBP. That does not mean there is no other avenue for finding finance but they are the two I looked into.

My thoughts on retirement villages;
Look at the demographics in the area, If there are a lot of aging citizens then you could well be on a winner.
