In some cases, access to finance is the issue in purchasing property. |
| Qualitative Info |
The criteria set out by many banks requires that an applicant for a mortgage must demonstrate that they are on full residency status or higher before they are eligible to apply. This excludes many categories of migrants such as work permit holders, green card holders, international students, asylum seekers, dependant spouses and undocumented migrants. This could be perceived as a barrier to some migrants accessing finance to purchase property of their choice. |
