If you are going through a separation, there may be a lot of financial questions to deal with alongside the emotional side of everything. 🫶🏻
One question that sometimes comes up is whether one person could realistically afford to take on the existing mortgage or secure a new mortgage independently.
This is where a mortgage capacity report may be requested by your solicitor.
It can provide an assessment of your potential borrowing position based on the information available, including your income, commitments, deposit or equity and other relevant circumstances.
It is not a mortgage offer, and it does not guarantee that a lender will approve an application. But it can help provide useful information during discussions around finances and housing.
If your solicitor has asked for one, or you are unsure what the report involves, send me a message and I can talk you through the process.
Save this if you are navigating separation and share it with someone who may need a clearer explanation.
