Can I get a mortgage without indefinite leave to remain? Can this be done?
It’s good news – yes, you absolutely can get a mortgage without indefinite leave to remain, and I’m looking forward to delving into this topic in more detail.
What types of visas can get a UK mortgage? Are there specific visa types that are more favourable to lenders?
Criteria does vary around this, but there will be a lender for most visa types. It also depends on the client’s overall circumstances.
We’d normally have an initial conversation and take all the details. Then we can take that away and see what’s available.
How much employment history do I need to get a mortgage without indefinite leave to remain?
Lender criteria does vary on this point, but we do have certain providers that will accept a job that you haven’t even started yet. You just need to have a signed contract with a start date within three months. It depends on the overall circumstances, but this is potentially an option.
Do I need to have lived in the UK for a minimum period to apply for a mortgage, and if so, how long?
Again, lender criteria varies on this, and in some cases it’s also linked to the percentage of deposit you have available.
As an example, we have some lenders that accept people who’ve arrived in the UK on day one, if they’ve got the right circumstances and deposit. The best thing to do is contact us and we can advise accordingly.

Everyone’s different. You might be self-employed. You might have some credit history issues – whatever your situation, we will find the most suitable product available to you from across the whole market.
Are there any restrictions on the kind of property I can buy without indefinite leave to remain?
A mortgage lender will do a valuation on the property you’re buying as a normal part of the application process. That’s the case whether you’ve got indefinite leave or any other situation.
Most standard construction houses will be accepted. If anything’s non-standard or out of the ordinary, just contact us directly with the details and we’ll take a look.
How much deposit for a mortgage do I need without indefinite leave to remain?
Again, it varies. It will depend on how long you have lived here, your credit score and various other factors. Generally, if everything else is okay, we do have lenders that will accept a 5% deposit, even without indefinite leave to remain.
Can I apply for a joint mortgage with a UK citizen if I don’t have indefinite leave to remain?
We do have lenders that will accept this, and both applicants can apply as normal – as though they were both British citizens.
Do I need a guarantor for a mortgage without indefinite leave to remain?
No guarantor is usually needed, no. We’ve helped many clients without indefinite leave to remain get a mortgage, and that’s without a guarantor.
Can I remortgage later if I gain indefinite leave to remain or citizenship?
Yes. Any future mortgages that you apply for, including a remortgage, would be based on your circumstances at the point of applying. That future application will be assessed on its own merits.
How do I apply for a mortgage without indefinite leave to remain?
The first step would be to contact us as a mortgage broker. We’ll take all the details, do our research and give advice about the right mortgage and lender. Once everything’s ready, we handle all the paperwork and the applications on behalf of our client.
You’ve demonstrated how a mortgage broker can help on a mortgage without indefinite leave to remain. Is there anything you’d like to add?
Obviously we help clients who don’t have indefinite leave to remain to get mortgages every day. We know all the lenders and the criteria. We’ll do our best to make sure that the process goes as smoothly as possible for you.
