    Is this Norther Ireland or Southern?

    If you are talking about Northern Ireland then all UK mortgages are open to you.

    If you are referring to Southern Ireland then you need a specialist mortgage broker that deals with foreign mortgages.

    Having worked in Northern Ireland, I understand that there are massive differences between getting mortgages on either side of the border. I found it too that not every uk lender would lend in NI. Post more detail and I will see if I can point you in the right direction.

    Could you give more detail on your visas etc too.

    To help you with a Souther Ireland mortgage, you will need the services of a specialist foreign mortgage broker, not a UK domestic mortgage broker.
