Executive & Business owner FAQs.
Can high earners borrow more for a mortgage?
Potentially yes. Some UK lenders offer higher income multiples for high earners, particularly where income is stable and affordability is strong. For senior professionals and executives, borrowing up to 5–6 times income may be possible depending on the lender and financial profile.
Can bonuses and commission be included in mortgage income?
Yes. Many UK lenders will consider bonuses, commission, and other variable income, often using an average over the last one or two years. This can significantly increase borrowing power for executives whose compensation includes performance-based pay.
Can share options or RSUs be counted as mortgage income?
Some specialist lenders will consider share-based income such as RSUs (Restricted Stock Units), stock options, or deferred compensation, particularly for executives working for large listed companies. The lender may review vesting schedules and historic payouts when assessing affordability.
Can I get a mortgage if most of my income comes from bonuses?
Yes. Many lenders will consider applications where a large proportion of income comes from bonuses, particularly in sectors such as finance, tech, and consulting. Typically, lenders will average bonus income over the last two or three years.
How much deposit is required for large mortgages?
Most lenders require 10–20% deposits, although larger loans or higher-value properties may require 15–25% deposits depending on the property value and borrowing level.
Are there specialist mortgages for high-net-worth individuals?
Yes. Some lenders and private banks offer high-net-worth or large loan mortgages, which can provide more flexible lending criteria, particularly for borrowers with significant income, assets, or complex financial structures.
Can overseas income be used for a UK mortgage?
Yes, some UK lenders will consider overseas income or internationally paid salaries, particularly for executives working for global companies. Currency risk and residency status will normally be considered during the assessment.
Do lenders consider future earnings or career progression?
Some lenders will consider future income potential, particularly for professionals such as partners in law firms, senior consultants, or executives with strong career progression.
Why should executives use a mortgage adviser?
Mortgage advisers can help identify lenders that understand complex executive pay structures, including bonuses, stock awards, and international income. This ensures you access lenders who can properly assess your financial profile and maximise your borrowing options.
