It's a question we've been asked a lot recently.
Many people assume they need permanent residency before applying for a mortgage.
In reality, some lenders may consider applicants who hold a Skilled Worker Visa, subject to their criteria.
Lenders may look at:
• Length of time remaining on your visa
• Employment status
• Income level
• Deposit available
• Credit history
Requirements vary significantly between lenders. That's why understanding which lenders may be suitable for your circumstances can be important.
