Rate reductions and greater criteria flexibility for Skilled Worker visa holders

We are pleased to announce that we are cutting the rates on the majority of our Skilled Worker visa mortgages, and enhancing the criteria.

These products have been designed specifically for skilled workers on overseas working visas, including those working in health and social care. Our updated flexible criteria, which includes no minimum residency in the UK and no minimum income requirement, will appeal to even more families recently resident in the UK. If you’d like to learn more about our barrier-busting visa products, visit our launch blog.

Explore the product update below, and if you have any questions please get in touch with our team.

Criteria update

Spousal Visa Criteria Update: We now welcome joint applicants (where the supporting applicant is on a spousal visa) to apply for up to 95% LTV, as long as the main earner holds a Skilled Worker or Health and Care Worker visa. This is capped at 90% LTV if UK residency is less than one year – previously this would have been capped at 80% LTV.
