buying house,300k deposit,borrowing 350k,returned emigrant,therefore mystery to bank,advised by chap in the pub to get my brother to also put his name on the mortgage,my names on deeds only,he is well known to his bank as big successful business type,house will be a rental/investment, (bank like that)then told after 2 years take his name off mortgage,bank happy as long as monthy payments are like clockwork- any views much appreciated in advance,

wouldnt have thought that was necessary...as long as you can provide to a lender details on your financial affairs in the past..i.e. evidence of a bank account, ongoing savings, ongoing earnings etc....Was in a similar position..Used REA as a mortgage broker and they made everything painless...
