Skilled Worker visa holders are a crucial part of the UK’s workforce. In the year ending September 2022, the Government recorded that there were 61,240 grants to main applicants of Skilled Worker visas, and an additional 61,414 grants to main applicants of Skilled Worker ‘Health and Care’ visas.
That’s a pretty hefty army of foreign nationals who are contributing to the UK’s economy, so shouldn’t we do our best to support these people in buying their homes in the same way we do our native residents?
We think so, and we’ve reviewed our criteria and made some helpful enhancements to support this vital workforce, as well as British Nationals Overseas:
We’ve reduced the requirement for employment records, and for residency remaining on the current visa from the usual three years to two.
We’ve broadened our criteria to allow those earning below £50k to borrow up to 75% LTV.
