Unsure Whether You Can Get a Mortgage in the UK as a Foreign National?
Many non-UK citizens assume they cannot obtain a mortgage in the UK. In reality, specialist lenders consider applications from foreign nationals based on factors such as visa status, income and financial profile.
At Kerr & Watson, we help identify lenders who are comfortable working with foreign national applicants.
Concerned Your Visa or Residency Status May Affect Your Mortgage Application?
Mortgage lenders will usually review your visa type, length of stay in the UK and supporting documents when assessing an application.
We help you understand how your residency status may affect your mortgage options and approach lenders whose criteria suit your circumstances.
Not Sure Which Lenders Accept Foreign National Mortgage Applications?
Many high street lenders have stricter criteria for foreign nationals, which can limit the available options.
We work with a range of lenders, including specialist providers, to help match your circumstances with lenders that are more experienced in foreign national mortgage applications.
