    There are lenders that will consider you, however, they may restrict your Loan to Valuation (LTV) on your application, as you do not have indefinite leave.

    Find a good broker and they will support you with this one

    It doesn!!!8217;t work like that. Use a Broker if you don!!!8217;t want to have a problem.
