Hello all! I’m Scottish and moved to the Netherlands to be with my fiancé in 2016. We have 2 children now and I want to go back to Scotland. We own a house here and have other commitments.

For any one else who has moved back to Scotland/UK from abroad, how hard was it? What is a realistic timeline? How quickly were you able to secure a mortgage? I’ve read a lot of providers need you to be in the UK for at least 6 months before they’ll give you a mortgage.

I would appreciate any advice!!

    If you are married to a Dutch citizen you can have dual nationality.

    Was just a point to consider if you did think to return to the Netherlands later.

    My other comment would be the prospects for the UK outside the single market and customs union are a bit grim. Luckily your kids will have Dutch citizenship and therefore EU freedom of movement.

    I wish you and your family all the best for the future !
