Just to update you all on this, you will be eligible if either you or partner/spouse is a British/EEA citizen. We have got our home on the HTB1 scheme successfully. Same rules should apply to HTB2 as well.
@brit1234 - both me and my wife have been taxpayers from the first day and we are not British, therefore "British taxpayer" is not a correct term.0 -
Neither applicant needs ILR these days. We've arranged a number of mortgages and equity loans for applicants on Tier One visas. The rules were relaxed later on last year.
As long as the lender will lend, the HTB Agent will approve the equity loan.
I do not particularly agree with this, before anyone jumps on me and I'm told it is under review at the HCA.I am a mortgage broker.
