When you apply for a mortgage, lenders look at much more than your salary.
They want to understand your overall financial position and whether the mortgage is affordable for you, both now and in the future.
Things that may be considered include:
☑️ Your income and how it's earned
☑️ Regular household spending
☑️ Existing loans and credit commitments
☑️ Your deposit
☑️ Credit history
☑️ Employment and income stability
☑️ The term and size of the mortgage you're applying for
This is why two people earning the same salary can sometimes have very different borrowing options.
And if your income or circumstances are more complex, choosing the right lender can become even more important. Different lenders have different criteria for assessing income, affordability and financial commitments.
If you're thinking about applying for a mortgage and want to understand where you stand, get in touch.
