Mortgages for umbrella company employees
 

We understand the barriers – and how to overcome them

The unique structure of umbrella company employees’ income can present challenges when applying for a mortgage. Many high-street lenders fail to consider more than PAYE income and deductions, overlooking their actual earning potential.

This misrepresentation can limit borrowing options, result in rejections, and damage your credit file, making an already complex process even more difficult. Focusing on your full financial picture ensures a fairer and more accurate assessment of your income.
