Not sure I should be writing this as it might temp fate - but I need to be prepare
Thus say for argument sake I receive £10k a year - it's actually equivalent to earning say around £12 k as I won't pay tax ( ignore personal allowances for these purposes)
Will mortgage companies look at the apparent " grossed up equivalent " of the money I could get ( till death ) or will the computer say no and take the net figure as the gross figure ?
I don't want to move but need to know my options for remortgage purposes ?
