The wider assessment
Explain residence and the right to remain accurately
Different lenders approach immigration status and UK history differently. We identify the permission you hold, its remaining term and how your income is evidenced. Buying property does not itself create a right to live in the UK.
A visa category is not a mortgage guarantee. Immigration advice and lending advice are separate.
