Do lenders take tax credits and child maintenance into account?

Posted on 17 June 2009

Are there any mortgage lenders out there that will take into account salary, child maintenance and tax credits when calculating how much they will lend?

Getting any lender to look at child maintenance payments is very difficult, but a number of mainstream lenders will take tax credits into account.  The most notable of these are C&G and Abbey.  My advice to you would be to speak to an independent, whole of market mortgage adviser who can go through your situation in detail and provide you with details on whether you can get a mortgage and what the size of the mortgage will be.


Best of luck
