Non-UK Citizens

Specialist mortgages for non UK citizens:


Mortgage Requirements for Foreign Nationals Living in the UK

Mortgages offered by high street banks in the UK are generally restricted to those with permanent residency who have lived and worked in the UK for at least 3 years. If you have lived in the UK for less than 3 years, you may still be able to get a mortgage from a private lender.

The exact rules for foreign nationals applying for a mortgage in the UK will depend on whether you are from the EU or from a country outside of the EU.

Mortgages for EU-citizens

If you are an EU citizen, you will normally have a traceable credit history, making it more straightforward to get a mortgage.

You should be able to apply for a standard UK mortgage if:

Mortgages for Non-EU citizens

If you are from a country outside the UK, you will not normally have a traceable credit history. This does not mean you won’t be able to get a mortgage, but may restrict which lenders you will be able to borrow from.

To qualify for a standard UK mortgage you should:

If you are in the UK on a UK Work Permit, you should be able to get a mortgage as long as you meet the other standard requirements. Some lenders will prefer you to have at least 2 years left on your work permit, but other lenders are more flexible.

How much can I borrow as a non UK citizen?

How much you can borrow through a mortgage as a non UK citizen mainly depends on your income. Typically in the UK you can borrow up to 4.5 times your annual income, however, this ratio can be higher depending on the lender you use and the type of income you're earning. 

Things can get complicated if:

Mortgages for British Expats and Foreign Nationals Living Abroad

If you are a British expat or foreign nationals living outside of the UK using a specialist mortgage broker is advisable to ensure you find the right finance.
