I've been helping someone at work try to buy a brand new house who is non UK resident, but has been in the country for around 9 years now, working with me for around 5 of those
They want to buy a new build and we went through the builders mortgage adviser who said either the Halifax or Nationwide would be an option. We asked him 3 times if the non residence could be an issue and he said not. Today he phoned to tell us that neither mortgage was available to non UK residents. Can anyone advise please if this person could get a new build mortgage anywhere at a decent rate?
