There are numerous reasons why a borrower may fall under the “complex” case category and need the services of a specialist lender. While it’s clear that a one-size-fits-all approach won’t work in these cases, they can be difficult to place and throw up obstacles and challenges that are unpredictable.

What if your client has non-standard income?

There are many professions where evidencing your income can be complicated. If you have clients that are self-employed, work on a contract basis, are sole traders, or have an inconsistent income, they could face problems when applying for a mortgage with mainstream providers.

Individuals with “unconventional” professions – such as actors, musicians, and athletes – may find it hard to evidence the level and consistency of their income, even if they have significant accumulated wealth and reliable sources of cash flow.

Even those who work in traditional industries, such as lawyers and tradesmen, can still have inconsistencies in their income, and may find it difficult to secure a mortgage.
