Nottingham Building Society has expanded the mortgage criteria for its recently launched proposition to support skilled foreign nationals settling in the UK.

Global Talent and Pre-settlement visas will now also be accepted in addition to the already accepted skilled worker, health and social care and Tier 2 visas.

Borrowers with the following visa types are now able to apply for a mortgage with the society:

• Global Talent Visa: designed for individuals with specialised industry skills. Applicants with this visa require no minimum salary and the person does not have to be working with a specific employer.

• Pre-Settlement Visa: available to EU and Swiss nationals who were living in the UK as of 30th June 2021, allowing European foreign nationals to work and live in the UK indefinitely.

The society launched its foreign nationals proposition on 1 May this year.

Nottingham Building Society sales director Alison Pallett says: “We are delighted to continue expanding our mortgage offering and help people with different, diverse circumstances to settle in the UK.”
