Understanding Mortgage Process for Tier 2 (Skilled Worker) Visa Holders
Your Trusted Mortgage Partner!
Individuals residing in the UK on a Tier 2 visa may believe that obtaining a mortgage as a foreign national could be difficult. However, it’s important to note that your nationality or residency status alone does not hinder your chances of getting a home loan in the UK. Similar to any other mortgage applicant, lenders primarily evaluate whether to provide a loan to someone on a Tier 2 visa based on several key financial factors. These criteria will differ from one lender to another
What are the basic requirements?
Lenders will primarily assess your application based on their standard credit checks and affordability evaluations. However, they will also consider two other significant factors:
There are no strict guidelines regarding the minimum length of time you should have lived in the UK. Generally, most lenders will require a minimum of two years of residency, while others may expect a three-year period. This requirement is common for mortgage eligibility criteria and ensures that applicants have spent enough time in the country to establish a dependable credit history and employment record. But currently, you can apply for a skilled worker mortgage if you’ve lived in the UK for as little as 12 months. Additionally, some lenders may specify that Tier 2 visa applicants should hold a current account or savings with a bank based in the UK.
