Case Study

Skilled Worker Visa First-Time Buyer

Client Profile

  • Status: Single Foreign National on a Skilled Worker Visa
  • Residency: Only lived in the UK for 12 months
  • Location: Cambridgeshire
  • Property Type: Leasehold Flat
  • Loan-to-Value (LTV): 90%
  • Deposit: 10% gifted from parents.

The Challenge

High LTV

A 90% mortgage was required, while most lenders can only offer 80% mortgage.

Overseas Gift

The 10% deposit was gifted by parents living abroad, which involves complex Anti-Money Laundering procedures.

Limited Credit History

Having only lived in the UK for 12 months, it meant a "thin" credit file and a lower credit score.

The Solution

As an independent, whole-of-market broker, we were able to look beyond the highstreet and access the specialist market to find the most suitable product for our client. After rigorous research and consultations with various Specialists Lenders’ Business Development Managers (BDMs), we successfully found a lender who is willing to lend to a Skilled Worker Visa holder and accepts someone who has lived in the UK for only a year.
By utilizing our access to these niche products, we secured a 2-year fixed rate mortgage at 90% LTV.
