A variety of cost-effective solutions are available, all of which include free valuations and legal advice.
Our lenders’ mortgages allow you to rent your home for up to 90 days per year on Airbnb.
Customers up to the age of 80 are considered, and the mortgage term is determined by the oldest customer.
With our Professional Range, we could arrange to lend you more if you earn £100k per year (or £150k jointly) and have qualified in a qualifying profession within the last 10 years.
Proof of ID, Proof of Income, and Proof of Expenses are the three types of documents required. They need to know who you are, how much money you make, and how much money you spend.
Identification is required.
Your lender will need to know who you are and where you reside in order to process a mortgage application. You may need the following documents to show this:
To avoid problems, your current photo passport or driver’s licence should include your current address. Check the expiration date; you cannot use an expired form of identification.
Recent utility bill (gas/electric, etc.) – show the entire statement, not just the summary page.
Because these are difficult to come by in the digital age, you may have to download them or ask for a print copy from your provider.
The bank statement or credit card bill must be within the recent three months.
Keep in mind that the spelling of your name and address should be identical throughout all of these documents. They will be more trustworthy for the lender to utilise as evidence in this manner. You’ll also need their name on at least one of the utility bills if you’re buying with someone else and already live together.
Get numerous copies of these documents because your conveyance solicitor will require them as well. It’s possible that you’ll have to have them certified by a professional or at the post office.
Income Documentation
Your lender will need to know your salary in order to determine what you can afford when you submit a mortgage application. You may require different types of documents depending on the type of income you receive.
If you work on a PAYE basis:
Payslips – These must be no more than three months old (up to six weeks if you are paid weekly) and must include your name and the name of your employer, as well as the payment date, net pay, and gross pay.
If you’ve just started a new job or haven’t been in your current position for very long, they may ask to see your P60 documentation to confirm you’ve been working.
If you’re self-employed, you should:
HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) can provide self-assessed tax return forms (SA302) and tax year overviews, which must both cover the same time period and be no more than two years old.
An accountant’s certificate can be obtained from your bank or lender and must be completed by a professionally trained UK accountant.
Receipts of Expenses
Before processing your application, your lender will need to know about your outgoing expenses in addition to your income. This is due to the fact that frequent payments such as school fees, travel, and other expenses may have an impact on how much you can afford to repay each month.
They’ll need the following items to display this information:
Bank statement – this must be from the last three months, clearly readable, and unaltered in any manner. They’ll almost certainly want to see your entire statement, including your correct name and location as well as a running balance.
Remember that they may want to know about any unexpected or unclear purchases or revenues you’ve made, so be ready to talk about topics that are personal to you. Your lender should keep this information private and not disclose it with anyone.
When applying for a mortgage, you may be required to submit a substantial amount of paperwork. Check names on utility bills, make sure your entire ID is up to date, and be prepared to create many copies to make this as simple as possible. Similarly, having internet banking set up and being able to see your payslips online will make things easier.
It’s also worth noting that, because you’re applying for a mortgage in the United Kingdom, all of this documentation should be in English; any that isn’t will need to be translated by a reputable translation firm and labelled as such.
If you’ve never applied for a mortgage before, it might be a confusing process, but you can always go to a mortgage broker to obtain guidance on the best options for you. Your application procedure will go much more smoothly if you have all of your paperwork ready ahead of time.
