We worked with L&C mortgages and they were so professional throughout the process. We also didn’t have to pay them. Our lender did and we were informed from the start.

Thank you, Lender was Halifax?

Barclays would lend to someone on any kind of visa, even a Tier 4 student visa @ 90% LTV i.e. you only need a 10% deposit. You must have lived in the UK for a minimum of 2 years. Minimum gross income of £25,000

L&C as in London & Country (listed on page 1)?
If so, I might consider notching up their 'vouch level'

.Halifax is asking for 25% for less than 2yrs in UK
Re: Living In The UK: Property,Mortgage And Related by Healhtyliving: 9:19pm On May 12, 2023
Skipton? If they are offering 100%, 10% for less than 2yrs residency shouldn’t be an issue.

I have a question pls. If you are using isusu as a means of raising money for house deposit, we know it comes In bulk , how do you explain it to the mortgage guys ? I mean the inflow as it’s not salary savings. Also if you sell a property In Naija or move part of the fund from Naija, how do you explain it ? Would you call two of them as gifts ?

Simply provide evidence....... That's all you need to do......

With the osusu, simply highlight deductions from your account and payment flow back.....

Likewise lol. It's looking like this might set a standard for new age non-guarantor 100% mortgages, although I don't think we'll ever return to the days of Norther Rock style >100% mortgages

I think I read somewhere the APR will be a 6 percenter

Interesting - I suspect they will cap borrowing to a % below current rent in order to limit risk and enforce an affordability buffer...

EDIT

Just seen that the product has launched today. APR not bad - fixed IR 5.49

The criteria don't look too onerous:

All applicants are first-time buyers.
Each applicant is 21 years old or older.
You have less than a 5% deposit.
You seek to borrow up to £600,000.
You satisfy the household-to-household criteria.
You are not purchasing a new build flat.
You can provide evidence of 12 consecutive months of rent payments within the last 18 months.
All applicants have maintained a clean payment record on debts and credit commitments (e.g., mobile phone bills) for the past 6 months.
You have a history of paying all household bills (e.g., utility bills, council tax, etc.) for a minimum of 12 consecutive months within the past 18 months.
The new monthly mortgage payments will have to be equal to or less than the monthly rent that applicants have been paying.

Won't this 100% mortgage drive up demand thereby leading to increase in house prices?

Payslips and bank statements dating back 3 months is the norm, so time your transaction such that the inflow won't reflect on your statement in that 3 month window.

Be careful, if you sell a property i.e. a house...this would mean you are not a first time buyer.

I believe it will. Also if HTB comes back. This govt is heavily invested in keeping house prices high, and as the market is stalling due to interest rate rises, new measures are being brought in to shore up it up.

The way these guys think. You would think they cared about the ftb and want them to achieve home ownership but like you pointed out aim is to keep house prices high for whatever reasons. Then to avoid or reduce backlash they come out with the only available for people who have a history of rent payment. Also using that as a some sort of hegde against potential defaulters via means of a 'pseudo credit check'- if you can pay rent you can pay mortgage.

Still not a first time buyer o.

Any person that has owned a property, anywhere in the world, no matter how they came about it, is not a first time buyer.

https://www.theguardian.com/money/2022/feb/28/will-inheriting-a-house-affect-my-status-as-a-first-time-buyer

The only way, apparently, is if the inheritance was never transferred to them personally but was maybe sold by the executors/administrators of the deceased's estate. But if you have ever been registered as owner of a property - no dice.

It's not that they don't care about first time buyers.

A crash in house prices would devastate home owners and be a big blow to the economy as a whole.

It's a balancing act - not an agenda to keep people from being able to buy homes.

On FTB, it'll be interesting knowing how much interface and how deep the interface between HRMC/Deed office and 9ja deeds offices in 9ja states, as well as with deeds offices worldwide: just as Home Office has with many others worldwide (on refused visas!)

Same here am still viewing ooh while trying to shore up deposit.

One thing I have found out from viewing is that it gives a clearer of picture of the type of house will you want to get. Taking features from different houses.
