Expert Guidance from Mortgage and Finance Arena

Securing a mortgage in the UK as a foreign national can seem daunting, but at Mortgage and Finance Arena based in Derbyshire, we specialise in guiding clients through every step of the process. Whether you’re new to the UK or have been here for years, our team is equipped to help you find the right mortgage solution for your circumstances.

Who Can Apply?

• Foreign nationals living in the UK, regardless of how long you’ve been here
• Applicants with various visa statuses, including those with settled or pre-settled status, indefinite leave to remain, or other acceptable visas
• All applicants must be 18 or over, and the property must be habitable and suitable for mortgage security

What You’ll Need to Apply

• Proof of residency or visa status
• Evidence of income, employment, and regular outgoings
• Valid identification and documentation (all meetings and documents are in English)

If you’ve lived in the UK for less than 12 months, there maybe some extra hurdles and requirements. Lenders generally see applicants with less than a year’s UK residency as higher risk, so they’ll look more closely at your visa status, employment, income, and credit history and sometimes requiring more documentation or a larger deposit
