Q.01
Can I get a mortgage in Hertfordshire as a foreign national or visa holder?
Yes. WIS Mortgages specialises in Foreign National and Visa Holder Mortgages across Hertfordshire. We work with lenders who accept Skilled Worker, Spouse and Tier 2 visa holders with as little as 5 percent deposit and from 6 months UK residency. Hertfordshire is popular with overseas professionals and we handle these cases regularly.
Yes. Our Contractor Mortgages use your day rate to calculate affordability rather than payslips or accounts. IR35 contractors, umbrella workers and limited company contractors are all accepted. Hertfordshire has a large contractor population working across the London technology and media sectors.
Average house prices in Hertfordshire vary from around £350,000 in parts of Hitchin and Kings Langley to over £1 million in Radlett and Harpenden. Most lenders offer 4 to 4.5 times your annual income. Specialist lenders may offer up to 5.5 times for NHS workers and certain professionals.
Yes. Our NHS Mortgages allow eligible healthcare workers to borrow up to 5.5 times their salary. Overtime, shift pay and locum income can be included in the assessment. Hertfordshire has a large NHS workforce across Watford General, Lister and St Albans City hospitals and we handle these cases regularly.
Yes. Hertfordshire offers strong rental yields particularly in commuter towns with good rail links into London. We offer Standard Buy-to-Let Mortgages, HMO Mortgages and SPV Mortgages through a limited company for Hertfordshire landlords.
From application to mortgage offer typically takes 2 to 4 weeks. Completion takes a further 4 to 8 weeks depending on the property chain. Complex cases including contractor, foreign national and self-employed mortgages may take slightly longer due to manual underwriting requirements.
