first2last4,

Yes, you need to tell them what visa you have and other information, so they can decide that you can get a mortgage or not.

Many lenders say you should be able to get a mortgage from them, but when you actually apply, they will say that only UK nationality and people who have settlement right can apply. It is just wasting our time. Many people and I have the same experience. Dont trust anything, unless you really get a m...

AdiPsych,

It says that at the end of my stay, we should apply on form of FLR(IED). We should be able to apply ILR at that time, but the immigration policy is changing all time, who knows what will be in 4 years time.

Hi everybody, I have received my 4 years HSMP Extension today. 1) Application sent on 27 April. 2) Application received and payment taken on 28 April. 3) Return documents(with stamped passport) received on may 8th May. I applied almost 3 months before expiry of my visa. The documents I sent: 1.0 Cov...

I asked a mortgage broker to do this for me, I think he is very helpful, I will recommend him if my mortage gets done. cus my first year hsmp visa will expire in July, so the lender takes longer time to consider my case. However, my extended my visa in late April, it is done, i will probably get it ...

of course, as soon as you have money, anyone can buy property in the UK, but if you want to get a mortage, the lenders might consider many things and most of UK builiding societies and banks only lend money to people who have settlement only. It is not easy to get a mortgage,but some lenders will do...

I called to HO, they said my visa was done and they have sent it yesterday, but I did not receive it today, they said they posted it back by recorded delivery, hopefully i can get it tomorrow.

ynn132 got extension visa which is 3 weeks short, I think it was a HO's error, but nothing you can do, cus they say they can give up to 4 years visa. I sent my hsmp extension application today, which is more than 2 months before my current visa expires, I called to FLR HO, they said I can apply eari...

ok, i will drop my local mp this lettle, cus her office and my flat are in the same house.

technician,

I dont know why you are so nervous, extension is much easier than initial hsmp application, many people get refused for HSMP application, but so far I have not heard anyone who cannot get hsmp extension. Just relax and wait it back.

It affects everybody who did not apply ILR before 3rd April, now all of us have to hold HSMP for 5 years to get ILR. Now HO issues 4 years hsmp extension. I know your guys dont wanna believe it, but it is this case.

Jaas,

You send HSMP application today and your vias expires on 15th June, you applied 2 months and 5 days early. When you call to home office, are your sure they said it is ok? I really wanna apply earlier as well.

the FLR(IED) application form link is:

just try.

drpanditji, that is superb, we were very concerned about this, now we can get 4 years extension, at least we do pay 2 extension fee. I will apply in May. Many people say it is very hard for us to get a mortgage in the 1st year of hsmp visa, I do get a mortgage,but I dont wanna sign all documents unt...

technician, You can find the telephone number on first page of the HSMP application form. According to GULGON said, HO is not sure yet, that is good, it is better than the answer I got. However, in this country, if you call to any customer service, everytime different people give different answer, i...

I called to Work Permit customer service, they said it is 3+1 years, we still get 3 years and have to apply one year extra. I am definitely not happy with this neither. Now it is very easy to connect to Work Permit customer service advisors. I made 2 calls, all connected easily, they get lots of app...

dead easy??? I get less points unnder the new criteria, in new system there are only 3 or 4 sections you can get points and the pass points are 75. For most people, i will be more difficult. However, for people who are under 27, it is bit easier, but in these ages, few people get good pays and have ...

Ideal, you can submit your tax return, but you dont have to, cus it is not required by HSMP extension. HO wanna know you economic activity only, they are not inland revenue, maybe you think it makes sence to do so, but in my opinion, i only wanna provide the required documents, cus if you like, you ...

HO does not ask annual tax return for HSMP extension, I intend to apply in May, I am not gonna submit my annual tax return, business and personal bank statements are enough. It does not mattter whether you make profit or not. For self-employed, the required docuemnts are bank statements, and a busin...

Ideal, I think you should apply 2 months before your current visa exprires, you dont need to do everything your solicitors advise, just have a look, many people apply 2 months in advance, they dont have problem at all, home office says you should apply 5 weeks in advance, but they dont say you canno...

Ideal,

Have you applied your hsmp extension? I am in the same situation as you. If you applied, what documents are your submistted? do you need to show that you are the only shareholder and direct in your company?

John, I am just a sole trader, and I work at home, so if I buy a house, it is for business use as well. I have asked inland revenue, but nobody know whether it is ok or any tax concern, they said a specialist will contact me, but no one contact me. I dont know why few hsmp people are self-employed, ...

mi3, i have one more question, you bought a property, do you pay it as a bisiness investment or personal purchase? You pay the mortgage by buiness expense or personal income, cus personal income is after income and other taxes. I think about it, cus if it is business investment, it is more affordable.

mi3, Thank you for your advice about mortgage, I think I have the similar situation with you, my bank is not HSBC, but I have some accounts with my bank, it is saving account, gold account with serveral free insurances, and business account. I should go to see a mortgage advisor in my local branch, ...
