Quick, online ILA for overseas investors in UK property
Buying or refinancing a property in the UK but living abroad? Get an ILA specialist solicitor without needing to travel.
Get UK property deals over the line, wherever you are
If your lender has asked you to get independent legal advice (ILA) from a UK solicitor, you’re probably wondering how on earth you’re going to manage yet another trip to the UK. Thankfully, with iLA, you don’t need to.
If you’re an international client, you can get ILA sorted online, from anywhere in the world, without wasting time or missing deadlines.
Plus, because we’re ILA specialists, we know international property finance like the back of our hand. You get the highest-quality service in the most efficient way possible.

Here’s what to expect when you get ILA with iLA
Everything’s online
No need to book a flight or find a solicitor nearby. Your appointment takes place over a secure video call, from wherever you are.
Appointments to suit your schedule
Open seven days a week, from 8 am to 8 pm UK time. That means early morning in Asia, afternoon in the Gulf, or evenings in the US are all covered.
ID checks are simple
ID verification is one of the most challenging aspects of international ILA. With our secure global tools, you can upload your passport, driver’s licence, or residency card in minutes.
Appointments within 24 hours
When timing is tight, you don’t have to wait around. Same-day appointments are available, and most certificates are completed within hours.
Clear pricing, no hidden extras
Our fees are all-inclusive and fixed. There are no hidden extras for ID checks or posting documents, and you’ll always be told the fee upfront.
Experienced with overseas clients
Thousands of clients from across the globe have already used iLA to complete their UK transactions. Whether this is your first time or your fifth, you’re in good hands.
Translator support available
If English isn’t your first language, just let us know. A professional translator can join your appointment so you feel confident and clear about everything you’re signing.
No guessing what your lender wants
Some lenders can be very specific. If your bank or broker has any specific requirements, we’ll likely already be aware of them; if not, we’ll find out for you.
