Mortgage for non UK tax payer

This is my first post so thanks in advance.

I'm planning on moving house and contacted my current lender the Halifax about a further mortgage. I have been working abroad for several years and am a non UK tax payer as I'm out of the country 9 months a year. When I told them this they said they couldn't give me a mortgage even though my credit rating is good I've been with them 20 years over 3 mortgages two of which were paid off early and never missed a payment. Does anyone out there know of mortgage brokers/companies who will deal with non UK tax payers. The last time I extended my mortgage with Halifax I was also working abroad and they granted it without any problem but now they say their rules have changed.

    There are a few lenders that could look at this for you, but it will depend on your whole scenario as to whether or not you would meet their criteria.

    What figures are you looking at?
