No. The initial eligibility check is a soft inquiry — it does not impact your credit score in the US, UK, or Canada. A hard pull only happens after you explicitly consent to submit a full mortgage application.

Requirements vary by country, but in all cases we need a valid passport, 24 months of income proof, 6 months of bank statements, and a recent credit report. Use the country selector above to see the exact list for your location.

Typical timelines range from 6 to 12 weeks from eligibility check to keys in hand. Your merge2own specialist keeps the bank, developer, and legal team moving in parallel so you don't have to.

Your keys to Lagos, Abuja, or Port Harcourt are 5 minutes away.
