Can I get a mortgage in the UK?

If you want to buy a property in the UK, getting a mortgage loan is an advantageous way to get the finance you need. Investment UK We are assertive in issuing mortgages and opening bank accounts even for foreign nationals (Turkish Citizens) who do not have a residence in the UK! At the same time, if you are a UK citizen or resident, we can issue a mortgage regardless of your credit history.

In this article, we will be sharing general information and tips on how to get a mortgage in the UK.

Applying for a mortgage in the UK may seem complicated at first glance because you are not familiar with the system, but the structure that seems complicated in the first place does not prevent you from getting a mortgage loan in the UK. Investment UK With the support you will receive from an experienced team, you can access the funds you need and buy your dream home. 

Although there are no legal restrictions on foreigners taking out mortgages in the UK, there are various criteria for each lending institution. Most of these criteria are similar to each other but may vary by institution. While lending institutions in Turkey are very similar or even identical, in the UK there may be differences from institution to institution.

Investment UK With our many years of financial and legal counselling experience, we are very ambitious to get you a mortgage! You can liken a mortgage application to a visa application. If you do not make your visa application with the right agency, your visa may be rejected due to missing documents or other reasons and it will be difficult for you to get a visa again. Mortgage application is exactly like this. If you do not work with the right financial advisors, your application can easily be rejected and these rejected applications will have a negative impact on your subsequent applications.

While the criteria for lenders are not the same everywhere, they are all regulated with the same common objectives. Lenders have to comply with anti-money laundering laws and decrees, and of course they want to make sure that they get the financial returns they expect from the services they provide. In other words, they want to make money from your loan and they want to make sure that you will pay your instalments on time.

Financing Options

The UK is one of the largest credit markets in the world with over 11 million mortgages totalling more than £1 trillion. If you are looking for a mortgage in the UK, you will find many options.

If you want to invest in the UK and generate income by renting out a property, a buy-to-let mortgage can help you raise the necessary funds. Buy to let is a buy-to-let mortgage. This type of loan is safer for banks because it implies that the property will be rented out to generate income and that the mortgage instalments can be paid without any problems.

Make sure you work with a financial adviser who understands your needs. Working with an adviser with a focus on overseas investments and knowledge of the UK market will ensure you apply for the right mortgage and increase your chances of approval. Otherwise, your mortgage may not be approved or may cause delays and complications in the property purchase. 

Payment Period

Another factor when taking out a mortgage is how long you want to pay it back. Typically, a mortgage in the UK is repaid over 20-30 years and this varies depending on factors such as the price of the property and your age.

Longer mortgage terms make monthly repayments easier, but increase the amount of interest payable over the term of the mortgage. The total costs over the term of the mortgage should be taken into account, especially if it is a buy-to-let loan.

Age Criteria

Another factor that determines whether you can get a mortgage in the UK is your age. Whilst most banks will not refuse a mortgage application for older applicants, they are likely to change the terms of the offer. They can do this in a number of ways, such as limiting the length of the mortgage deal so that you can repay faster, or requiring a larger initial deposit.

The down payment amount is important. Do you have some money saved up? If so, you already fulfil one of the most important criteria.

As well as the length and amount of the mortgage repayment, the loan security is also an important factor in determining whether you can get a mortgage in the UK.

A down payment is a down payment that must be paid up front and reduces the amount of your loan. Lenders usually offer better mortgage options if you make a higher down payment.

Higher down payments reduce risk for banks, so they incentivise borrowers who pay higher down payments by offering better, more attractive mortgage options. 

Paying a larger down payment also reduces your financial burden, making monthly payments more affordable. Of course, the larger the down payment, the less interest to be paid.
