@que@mastodon.au @threedaymonk@sonomu.club Boosted the post so hopefully that helps. Sometimes I feel like UK is a lot like USA and then I read stuff like this and realize it's still very different. I don't think the banks here would loan that amount of money on a visa. If the person bought the house in cash, well, that's enough money here to just buy yourself a residency. Best of luck to them. Someone that put together probably won't have too much of a problem getting a job in time.

@que@mastodon.au Absolutely normal in lots of places. I bought a house here and an on a knowledge worker visa. I knew people in the USA on work visas that bought houses, etc etc. It may be a risk that the bank takes into account, but it's completely possible. @threedaymonk@sonomu.club
