This is because you don’t have any track record on your ability to manage debt. When you take out credit agreements and make your payments on time, a credit score profile is built. High street lenders rely heavily on credit scores and without a strong score a mortgage with these lenders will be very difficult.
Thankfully in the UK, we have a second tier of lenders that do not credit score applicants. They manually underwrite all applications on a case-by-case basis and will agree on lending if it is deemed affordable.
