Not the same situation but I found it very odd that in the UK I was told by a verification company Estate Agents use that I could not rent a residential property as I was retired (or "You have no job" as they put it.). Don't remember why my pensions were not taken into account. I explained I had enough cash in the bank to pay the rent for perhaps 70 years but they replied that I could get the rental and then spend all the money the next day - to which to I pointed out I could have a job today and lose it tomorrow. The Landlord stepped in and accepted me.

But take note that while this streamlines the application process, a pre-approved loan is not a guarantee that you will be granted the amount or terms you’re looking for.
- As a foreigner you'll have to provide a little extra documentation to back up your loan application, including your ACR certificate, and your visa. However, aside from this, the requirements are fairly straightforward and similar to the process used for local applicants.
