Foster Carer Allowances as Income?

Options
Looking for some advice from any brokers out there.

Foster carers are self employed but with all of the tax relief available, it's almost impossible to show a net profit each year.

Does anyone know of any mainstream lenders who are sympathetic to this?

I have already enquired with Endsleigh who are calling me back.

    There is a lender who will allow this as income, but can't remember who, I think it might be Nationwide or Halifax.
    I am a mortgage adviser.
