The wider assessment

Build a clear UK and overseas evidence trail

Recent relocation can mean a short UK credit history and money arriving from overseas. We check which documents show current residence, employment and source of funds. Any translation or certification needs are considered early.

Lender policies on residence history and immigration status differ. Property ownership does not establish immigration rights.
