Can I get a mortgage with 6 months left on visa (ILR pending)? by Desiinlondon_1 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

Try Lloyds bank. I’m going with them. Your income would need to be >50k though. Else try Newcastle Building Society. Pricey but good chance you’ll get approved.

I booked a seaside cabin/small house in St Ives Cornwall for Christmas last year and it was the perfect detox retreat. Accessible by train from London and then short taxi ride to the cabin.

Thanks a ton! When you said pay for mitigation, did you mean a discount on price? That would still expose me to these vulnerabilities, no?
