Hi all,

Anyone know how we go about getting a credit rating in order to apply for a mortgage?

Thanks

Turn up......

From what I have read previously on here its just a case of the job you get (or both get), the money you take with you and the like.

Pretty much what you would be assessed on over here. The lending companies will be aware you a migrant and so may be cautious but may be welcoming. Just suck it and see.

I would get there and get settled in before rushing to buy. Plenty of rentals out there to house you all.

You just have to have a permanant job to get a mortgage. Don't take anything out on credit before you apply, they like you to be debt free.

FYI you don't even need a job, you will need some funds to put down and providing you can show a credit line ( maybe some excess property equity) then you are fine at least this is with HSBC and I suppose it helps if you bank with them in the UK...I just knew one day my bank would come in useful...good old HSBC I say!!!!!
