also, my american wife hasnt filed any tax retuirns for 6 years now and does anyone know someone in singapore who could do this for her at a decent price?

If your wife made under the Earned Income Exclusion for those 6 years its really simple. Just fill out all of the forms and send them in a bulk envelope. I had to do it for about 3 years returns (1 year over EIE) and it took me a few hours to do and was pretty straightforward.

Stanchart, HSBC, RBS, Barcap, Lloyds offer UK mortgages. Citi, BoA, GS, MS offer US mortgages.

If you have a relationship with a bank in Singapore or Asia, they will always try and arrange something for you; DBS, UOB, OCBC, ANZ, SBI, Maybank, BOC etc

Be wary of using brokers, better to go direct to the banking institutions.

Most of the banks in SG use the Lloyds product. It is not likely that you will get less than the 100,000 pounds that you've been offered - it needs to be worth their while.
