    Lenders also like people new to the UK to have lived here for a certain amount of time.

    Being financially dependant on you, will have a knock-on effect on the amount you can borrow.

    Credit ratings / scores are not seen or used by financial institutions as they have their own way of assessing applications, due to internal algorithm methods. Credit history, satisfactory running of accounts, no missed / late payments, CCJ, IVA, bankruptcy etc are all taken into account. Being on the electoral roll assists with electronic ID.

    Speak with a broker to see what the best options are for your circumstances.
    Mortgage started 2020, aiming to clear 31/12/2029.

    Your wife is financially dependent on you and will need to be declared as such. Even if it's just you that applies for the mortgage.
