Clients who are asset rich can often find it hard to secure a mortgage thanks to unusual income profiles, including these scenarios:
- Owning a substantial, high value property
- Having substantial cash, investments and/or pensions
- Being retired or on a career break
- Recently going through a divorce

UNUSUAL INCOME: PROBLEM SOLVED
We recently arranged a short term mortgage for a couple in their 70s looking to purchase and update the perfect retirement home, selling their current property at a later date.
State pension income was insufficient for affordability, but by monetising a SIPP worth Β£500k we created sufficient income, avoiding an expensive bridging loan and allowing them to purchase and then sell chain free.
