Yes, you can! While some lenders may have stricter criteria for foreign nationals, there are plenty of options available. We work with a range of lenders, including those who specialise in mortgages for foreign nationals, and can guide you through the process to find the best solution for your circumstances.
-
You’ll typically need to provide proof of identity (passport or visa), proof of your right to reside in the UK, proof of income (payslips or tax returns), bank statements, and a utility bill as proof of address. Our team will help you understand exactly what’s required and assist you in preparing the necessary documents.
-
It depends on your residency status and your credit history in the UK. While some lenders may require a slightly higher deposit (usually around 20-25%), others may accept lower deposits, especially if you have been living and working in the UK for more than three years. We’ll explore all options to find a lender that meets your needs.
-
Yes, some lenders will consider foreign income, but it might require additional documentation, such as translated bank statements or proof of employment. We specialise in working with lenders who understand international income and can present your financial situation in the best way possible.
-
Your visa status can impact your mortgage options, but it doesn’t mean you can’t secure a mortgage. Certain visa types are more readily accepted by lenders, while others may require additional checks. Our experts understand the nuances of different visa statuses and can guide you through the best options available.
