Working Abroad Causing Issues

Good evening,

Am am seeking some advice as a mortgage broker has come back to me today saying my 5 months working abroad have left me in a position where only 4 mortgage lenders will make me an offer. Apparently 5 months aboard made me a non-resident despite being a UK citizen and living here since birth.

I cannot seem to find anywhere online where is bought up as an issue. Apparently I tick all boxes but this one.

Can anybody shed any light on this for me?

Many thanks,

Ben

    Your broker already has. Your options are limited if you are non resident.

    Unless you are saying you were abroad but are now back.
