Guide to our foreign national mortgages and visas

If you were born abroad and now want to buy a home, we might be able to help.

You can apply for a foreign national mortgage with us if you have one of the following visas:

  • Skilled Worker visa (Tier 2).
  • Health and Care Worker visa.
  • Pre-settled status. This is a temporary UK immigration status given to EU, EEA, and Swiss citizens (and their family members) who lived in the UK by December 31, 2020, but had not yet lived there for five years in a row.

We can also consider applicants on:

  • Spousal visas when applying with an eligible partner.
  • Dependant visas when supported by another applicant that holds a Skilled Worker or Health and Care worker visa, or originally entered the UK on one of these visas.

There's no minimum income you need to earn, you just need three years of UK address history, and we can lend up to 90% of the property's value.

*Initial estimated monthly payments are calculated based on the figures entered above on a capital and interest repayment basis.
**For owner occupier mortgages, the actual variable rate applied will be based on the value of your property relative to the outstanding mortgage balance (this is known as the Loan to Value (LTV)). However, this rate will never be higher than the Society’s Standard Variable Rate at that time. For further details about what happens to your interest rate when your mortgage offer period ends, click here.

We’ll instruct a mortgage valuation. This is for our own use only. The cost of the valuation is set out in the product features. Where you feel you need more information about the property including its condition, there are three additional types of survey available to you: Home Survey Level 1 (Previously known as a Condition Report), Level 2 (Previously known as a Home Buyers’ Survey) and Level 3 (Previously known as a Building Survey). You’ll need to decide which level is best for you. For further details please visit rics.org

Representative example

A mortgage of £237,000 payable over 35 years initially on a fixed rate for two years at 5.89% and then on our current standard variable rate of 6.24% (variable) for the remaining 33 years would require an initial payment of £2,519.47, 25 monthly payments of £1,333.89 and 394 monthly payments of £1,387.73.

The total amount payable would be £582,411.76, made up of the loan amount plus interest (£345,411.76) and an account management fee (£125 - paid upon redemption).

The overall cost for comparison is 6.4% APRC representative.

This representative example assumes mortgage payments are made on the 1st day of a calendar month.
