Unlocking Your New Home: Essential Tips for Immigrants in the UK Rental & Property Market
Manage episode 445653911 series 3461425
In this fireside chat, Tynah Matembe addresses one of the major challenges migrants face when moving to the UK: securing housing. The discussion will explore the widespread racism in the housing sector and how it exacerbates the difficulties encountered by migrant communities. Research by Generation Rent, a campaign group advocating for safe, secure, and affordable homes, has uncovered alarming levels of discrimination against migrants in the private rental market. Other reports show that individuals from Black backgrounds are over three times more likely to experience homelessness. Tynah will be joined by Tilly Smith from Generation Rent, and Nathan Bassett, a former footballer and founder of Dwell Mortgages, the UK's leading mortgage advisor specialising in foreign national mortgages. Nathan will focus on the 'Tier 2 Visa mortgage' and other essential information for migrants seeking mortgages. Together, they provide guidance on navigating both rental and mortgage options, helping migrants better understand the UK housing landscape.
