Mortgage lenders don't always share your vision for what represents a dream home.
Perhaps that thatched roof isn't seen by them as a positive feature, or maybe you have your eye on a flat above a shop, an ex-Local Authority property that uses Pre Reinforced Concrete or a building that uses non-conventional construction techniques. Perhaps you want to offer an A-listed manor house!
When it comes to UK mortgage loans, anything out of the ordinary about your dream home's construction or potential resale attraction can give the mainstream lenders a nightmare. They want to know their capital is safe.
But with virtually every type of property, there is a lender experienced in that market. It's just a case of knowing who best to approach. That's where The Lending Channel, with our extensive panel of specialist mortgage lenders, are your best ally.
Rest reassured, whether you're a first-time buyer or want a mortgage to move to a dream house, the whole process for complex property mortgages is no longer as isn't as difficult as it once was, at least for those who come to The Lending Channel.
If you want a self-employed mortgage (a description that now applies to one in five of the UK's working population), then there is a good chance that you have found it hard to secure a loan offer through a High Street lender.
But don’t give up: when it comes to complex mortgage applications , The Lending Channel can help when others can’t.
That's because if you ask how most banks and building societies make their lending decisions, the answer is typical relating to proof of your monthly income – and that phrase is defined differently by each lender.
Through our extensive specialist lender's panel, we can help you find the best mortgage product for your complex income structure – even when you've been declined a mortgage offer by other lenders.
Typically, before they set up a loan offer, a mortgage lender will ask to see at least two years' earnings from the self-employed. That time constraint would be bad enough, but if you're self-employed, it might be that your salary each month come from multiple income streams plus an element of dividend from your business. Even if you've drawn out the same amount for two years, many lenders will ignore the dividend, as it's not guaranteed.
If you currently work in a contracted position, under IR35 regulations, or work under the Construction Industry Scheme (CIS), you'll face similar problems.
Even with mortgage lenders familiar with the CIS Scheme, many often want to deduct expenses and tax from your quoted day rate, which will reduce the amount they are prepared to loan.
They might also impose additional requirements on you, such as asking for an increased minimum deposit.
Numerous mortgage lenders have woken up to the fact that employment patterns have shifted enormously in recent years. These lenders have products that will meet your circumstances. After all, more than 4.6 million people are self-employed in the UK, and that number is growing year by year ( Office for National Statistics ). That’s a big potential market – and we know where to look!
