showing/proving income for re/mortgage

hi

just an enquiry, what are lenders looking for you to show income wise when either buying or remortgaging a property? is it last 3 months payslips or will your current p60 be accepted? also do they ask for bankstatements and will they need to see your monthly income coming in?

reason i ask is coz my current p60 shows what ive been earning the past few yrs (aprx 28k) as an average but that has now dropped to a basic 16K, and im looking to remortgage soon, so would like to know if my p60 will be accepted or not?

cheers!

    You'll need the last 3 months payslips usually.
    By the way if you stay with your current lender and aren't borrowing any more, you won't need any proof of income.

    If under 75% lenders often do not request payslips or P60 but they reserve the right to. Now before anyone shouts 'fraud' just tjhink it through a second - is it better this person has a more affordable payment on terms they can deal with? You can be confident most Politicians would recommend thier own children get the better deal.
