You can buy property in the UK, but its very unlikely you would get a mortgage.

You would be able to stay up to 3 months without the need of a visa as you would have a tourist visa tied to your passport.

You can get information HERE

Hope that helps

@SimCityAT okay I had wondered if I could get a visa if I purchased property

Buying a property doesn't automatically give you a visa in order for you to stay if that's what you are asking.

I am not sure there are any. Unless you invest huge amounts of money. I think you can get a Maltese passport if you invest something like €650,000.

You might wish to google Golden Visa.

Apart from that I am sorry I can be no help.

It depends on your skills. What is your profession?
