Income Multiples for Bad Credit Mortgage products

Bad Credit MortgageBad credit mortgages at 4.5 times income

Payam AzadiIf your looking to find out What the Income Multiples are for Bad Credit Mortgage products then you have found the right place. Mortgages are risk based, as such if there is a lenience towards bad credit then something else needs to give, normally the trade is a lower income multiple. In this article, I discuss how to maximise the income multiple even if you have bad credit.

The mechanics are quiet boring but the results exciting as you can borrow a greater amount. This could mean you could buy a larger property or debt consolidate more – so I urge you to read on…

 Inside Track on Income Multiple Assessment

So you have been naughty and have a legacy of CCJs and defaults. It is not uncommon and I have helped many, many clients like you obtain mortgages with similar bad credit problems.

To the untrained eye you might set about assessing your affordability on a short term fix rate, say 2 years. This is because the rate catches your eye, as generally shorter fixes have lower initial rates. This approach could well suit you but Lenders need to determine affordability over a longer period as under ‘responsible lending governing rules’. So in the case of a 2 year fix they will need to factor in the reversionary rate in their stress test of affordability, however on a 5 year fix they may examine the initial pay-rate.

Example: Borrow more on a 5 year fix rate 

John wants to consolidate his debts by way of a remortgage. He has had 1 CCJ and 3 defaults that were registered 3 years ago when he fell on hard times.

Income is £40k gross per annum (£2540pcm). Monthly Expenditure = £1100.

Below is a table to illustrate how the maximum borrowing changes for one Specialist Lender, depending on product selection, who Niche Advice uses regularly:

Initial pay rate Fixed period Stress test affordability test applied to Maximum loan
2.93% 30 months 4.74% (reversionary rate) £152,000
3.53% 60 months 3.53%
(pay rate)
£180,000

That’s right using the 5 year fix would mean you could borrow £28,000 more.

Borrow even more on Limited Edition 5 year fix rate 

The even better news is Niche Advice has access to a Limited Tranche of 5 year mortgages at 2.88%, so we can help you borrow more still, and at a lower rate!

Mortgage Conveyancing explained

AS A MORTGAGE IS SECURED AGAINST YOUR HOME OR PROPERTY, IT COULD BE REPOSSESSED IF YOU DO NOT KEEP UP THE MORTGAGE REPAYMENTS.

If you are thinking of consolidating existing borrowing you should be aware that you may be extending the terms of the debt and increasing the total amount you repay.
