hey adele, i lived in the south for 10 years moved to london to do a college course and i'm moving to newry in 6 weeks time. When i looked into this before the market hit the fan, irish banks would not lend me money to buy a house in the north. And because at the time i wasn't living within the uk either no english bank would give me the money either. Things might have changed and there might be other ways around it, at the time it was just something i was thinking about and i didn't look into it as much as what i could of. Since i'm living in london now i'm back as being a uk resident again and have a bank account and a good credit rating so i'm able to get a mortgage. Do you have accounts in the north. The only way i can think of doing it off the top of my head ( and i'm not 100% you can even do this or if it's legal ) is if you have family in the north you can say that your living with them, put yourself on the e. roll and open any account in your name at that address and just say your commuting to the south for work. In that case they will except all your documents, wage slips ect from the south and in euro. For a buy to let loan you will need to have a minimum of 20% for the deposit ( again last time i checked this could all of changed now ) and also you need to be earning a mimimum of £25,000 sorry i cant be anymore help to you.
