Santander Mortgage

Hi guys,


I have a meeting with my mortgage advisor after having an offer accepted on a house. My original AIP was with Halifax but looks like Santander may be the best now.


I was wondering if anyone knows which documents Santander usually require? We have a 15% deposit and both have good credit histories. Based on the current interest rates our repayments would be £660 which is well within what we can afford.


Thank you,


Laura

    Normally just most recent payslip, unless you are using bonus/overtime, then 3 months.


    Your broker may likely need more for their compliance.

    Lenders assess affordability on a what if basis. Not least that interest rates won't remain abnormally low forever.
  • Thank you guys! Thrugelmir, I am aware of this, we would still be able to afford mortgage repayments if the interest rates were to rise top 7 % even at current salaries. I have thought about that all don't worry :)


    I was just wondering which evidence documents Santander would actually look at.


    Thanks guys,

  • I remortgaged with Santander in May. I gave my P60 and three months bank statements.


    Hope this helps.
