Something like this occurred in the UK for post-war Caribbean immigrants and their descendants (the "Windrush scandal"). Decades later, the Conservatives introduced retrospective requirements for documentation to prove the right to stay. Something like three documents for every year, continuously since arrival. Many were deported or lost social security because they didn't have documents they were never told and couldn't know they would need. It was (and still is) disgusting.

Is there a good reason for the UK not to offer fixed-rate mortgages? Pretty much every mortgage in France is fixed-rate for their whole duration. 20 years is not uncommon.
@BorisBarbour
There are many fixed-rate mortgages but these are fixed for a period not the duration of the loan... of course, in the US too, most mortgages are fixed rate for duration.
