Equity Partner Mortgages
Equity Partner Mortgages are available to individuals that have ownership stakes in their Law or Accountancy firm and receive a share of profits.
Why is it trickier to get a mortgage being an equity partner?
Securing a mortgage as an Equity Partner can be difficult due to the way some lenders interpret your income. Most mortgage lenders will only consider an application if you have been an Equity Partner for at least two years, as they classify you as being self-employed.
Lenders will normally request two years’ worth of tax returns and then average out the annual earnings before confirming the mortgage available.
You would think that in a profession with such a high earning potential where earnings are typically between £200k – £1.0m per annum that you would be the ideal candidate for a mortgage, however, the modern low cost one size fits all approach to underwriting that many lenders now favour can prove prohibitive.
