Re-mortgage without a job but have a pension

Hi

Quick question for all you mortgage brokers out there:

I leave the Forces shortly and at the same time my 5 yr fix ends. I should have around £140k left on the mortgage (approx value £350k). My wife earns £40k pa and I will have a pension income of £11k pa. Although I'm not working, can I use my pension as income as the second applicant?

Many thanks

    If you move to a retention product with your existing lender you may not have to prove any income at all.

    It should be doable, but depends if you have any debt
