Mortgage Advice For Foster Carers
Foster carer income can be more complex than standard employed income. Some lenders may consider fostering income and allowances, but the way they assess them can vary significantly.
The Mortgage Hive can help compare mortgage options across high street and specialist lenders. We will explain income evidence, affordability, deposit, credit profile, property type and lender criteria so you can understand what may be possible.

Mortgage Guidance For Your Profession
Every application is different, so these areas should be reviewed against your income, deposit, credit profile and lender criteria.
Fostering income
Your fostering income history, consistency and supporting evidence may affect how lenders assess affordability.
Foster care allowances
Some lenders may consider allowances, but treatment varies and will depend on your circumstances and lender criteria.
Non-standard income assessment
Where income is not straightforward, a broker can help identify lenders that may understand your profession and evidence.
First-time buyers
If you are buying your first home, we can help explain deposit, affordability, monthly payment and lender requirements.
Remortgage options
If your current mortgage deal is ending or your circumstances have changed, reviewing options early may help you understand suitable routes.
Poor credit or complex circumstances
Credit issues, non-standard income or changing circumstances may reduce options, but specialist lenders could still be worth reviewing.
