Quick answers
-
It is an assessment of how much you may be able to borrow on a mortgage, based on your income, financial commitments, credit, and current lender criteria. A report presents this information in a formal, written format.
-
Mortgage capacity reports are often required in divorce proceedings to provide independent evidence of a person’s borrowing capacity. This evidence can help to support decisions around how finances will be split fairly.
-
No. A mortgage capacity report is not a mortgage offer or approval. It is an evidence-based assessment using current lender criteria, but final lending decisions are always subject to a full mortgage application, underwriting, and lender approval.
-
The assessment is based on the information you provide and current lender criteria. While no assessment can guarantee a mortgage offer, the figures are designed to be realistic and achievable under normal lending conditions.
-
We require details of income, employment status, financial commitments, and credit history (a full search will not be carried out). This information should be provided in our Data Request Form [download], which covers everything we need to assess mortgage capacity.
-
Once we receive the completed Data Request Form and payment, reports are usually completed within 3 working days. Though we can offer a 24-hour turnaround, if necessary (additional fee of £50)
-
If you have any questions about the findings, we will always make ourselves available to chat through things. We are also here to help you make any new mortgage arrangements further down the line.
