How long do you plan to stay? the fact that you might not be considered as a resident will probably not helped (unless you very rich I guess, and have the cash!)
Are you on a student visa? are you allowed to work with it?
I've been in UK 5 years - so far I found prices are just too ridiculous to buy* - and I don't know if I'll go somewhere else one day...
*incl. prices people are (were
) ready to pay 0 -
As a matter of law, yes. You don't have to be a UK national, or have indefininte leave to remain (or any leave to remain) in order to buy a house in the UK.
If you are a cash buyer, or can borrow from home, then there is no problem.
If you are looking for a UK mortgage, I expect that without ILR, companies won't like it. But I'm not a broker....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -
So long as you have a big fat deposit (at least 10%) and earn enough money (borrow 3x your salary for a mortgage), then there's nothing to stop you buying a house.Should've = Should HAVE (not 'of')
Would've = Would HAVE (not 'of')
No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)0 -
