Evidence focus: Assess each applicant and the household together
An internationally connected applicant is considering spouse or partner visa mortgages. The brief includes passports and immigration status for both applicants and a separate question about relationship and address evidence if requested. We establish who will own and borrow, the current visa route and expiry, whether an extension is expected, and how each income will be evidenced. The evidence and the decision need to be considered together rather than in isolation.

The wider assessment
Assess each applicant and the household together
We establish who will own and borrow, the current visa route and expiry, whether an extension is expected, and how each income will be evidenced. The British or settled partner’s position may be relevant, but it does not remove the need for the lender to assess the whole application and property.
A relationship to a British or settled person does not create an automatic mortgage entitlement. Immigration, legal ownership and tax questions require the appropriate independent advice.
