Query re mortgage whilst on FLR and level of assets

I am a lot confused  , we have contacted an independent financial advisor in the hopes of getting a mortgage to get away from living with my family!

He has stated that it would be better for me to get the mortgage in my name, as there is a level of assets that a US citizen can have in the UK, and a house would go over that barrier.  Has anyone else came across this before?

Has anyone else had trouble getting a mortgage whilst on FLR, I have been through the forum topics, but it got very confusing and some points touched on the little stumbling block we have, but didn't go into a lot of detail.

Would people recommend renting until ILR is approved? or going for a mortgage?

THanks in advance!

i bought a house here in the UK while on FLR.  i needed to have at least 2 years left and needed to put down a decent deposit.  besides that no issues.  i consulted my UK & US accountant and neither had a problem with me owning a house in the UK.

not sure what your financial advisor meant... would be good to get specifics...

I will get back to you on that one, I am doing this via a friend at the moment so it's a little bit like chinese whispers!
