Mortgage for 4 people using 100% of all incomes to help with affordability.
Increase your mortgage borrowing by using incomes from more than 2 applicants
Believe me common sense can prevail if more than two incomes are coming into a household then we have access to a Lender that will take them into consideration. That’s right up to 4 applicants incomes can be used when assessing affordability and the results can be startling.
To put this innovation into perspective the majority of UK Lenders limit the number of mortgage applicants to two, a typical husband and wife scenario, and have built their systems around this ideal. A case of one size hoping to fit all. Those that had a little more foresight allow for a greater number of applicants but usually calculate the mortgage amount against the two highest salaries and ignore the income from the other applicant’s altogether.
Those avid readers of my blogs will know Niche Advice relentlessly trawls the market to find Lenders willing to break away from the mould and lovingly present the opportunities to our followers. In theory the Lender will do 5 times all 4 applicant’s incomes, but from the testing I have done it normally caps out at 4.5 times nevertheless as the table below shows this could be the difference between studio and penthouse or terrace and detached!
Niche Advice is happy to work out your maximum borrowing ahead of any credit searches or charges.
