Evidence focus: Build the first-home plan around your actual status
An internationally connected applicant is considering foreign-national first-time buyers. The brief includes passport and immigration status and a separate question about uk address and credit history. We establish nationality, current residence, visa or settled status, time in the UK and how your income is paid. The evidence and the decision need to be considered together rather than in isolation.

The wider assessment
Build the first-home plan around your actual status
We establish nationality, current residence, visa or settled status, time in the UK and how your income is paid. Then we add the property budget, buying costs and deposit trail. The result is a practical route to an agreement in principle or a clear list of what needs strengthening first.
An agreement in principle is not a mortgage offer, and lender criteria can change. Budget separately for legal work, surveys, tax and moving costs.
