-
Non-UK passport holders
-
Visa holders living in the UK
-
Foreign residents investing in UK property

International professionals relocating to the UK

These brokers understand the unique requirements lenders place on non-UK citizens and will help you navigate documentation, residency status, and UK mortgage eligibility.
What Are Foreign National Mortgages?
A Foreign National Mortgage is designed for non-UK citizens who want to buy or remortgage property in the UK.
Suitable for:
-
Applicants on UK visas (Skilled Worker, Family, Student, etc.)
-
People with residency permits
-
Foreign nationals living abroad but purchasing UK property
-
International employees or contractors
-
First-time buyers who recently moved to the UK

Those with limited UK credit history
Typical Requirements:
While criteria vary by lender, requirements commonly include:
-
Valid passport
-
Visa or residency permit (if living in the UK)
-
Proof of income and employment
-
UK or international bank statements
-
Proof of deposit (often more detailed for overseas funds)

Compliance with anti-money-laundering checks

Credit history (UK or foreign)
Some lenders require minimum UK residency periods, while others accept applicants who have only recently arrived — which is why specialist brokers can be so valuable.

A mortgage is a long-term financial commitment and is not suitable for everyone.
Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage or any other debt secured on it.
Interest rates may be fixed or variable. If you take a variable or tracker mortgage, your repayments could increase if interest rates rise. Changes to your personal circumstances — such as loss of income, illness, or increased living costs — could also affect your ability to meet repayments.
Mortgages often involve additional costs, including arrangement fees, legal fees, valuation fees, early repayment charges, and other lender or adviser fees. Extending the mortgage term may reduce monthly payments but can result in paying more interest overall and remaining in debt for longer.
You should carefully consider affordability now and in the future and seek professional advice before proceeding.
Important: Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage or any other debt secured on it.
