Mortgage, annexe, tenants in situ.

Hi guys
We've found a property we really like. It's slighty above our budget, however the house has an annexe which has tenants in situ. This is fine with us. My question is would a lender take into account that rental income thus lending us more?

Cheers
Joel

    No, not only that if the annex forms part of the property for sale they wouldn't give you a mortgage at all without vacant possession.

    I thought maybe the the lender would see the monthly rent as additional income. And no. It's a separate building to the side. It isn't attached. Does that make a difference?

    Not really. The whole property being mortgaged needs to be vacant at completion (for any mainstream residential mortgage products anyway).

    If the seller can separate the titles and you only take out the mortgage over the main house then maybe, but that's probably unfeasibly complicated.
  • Ok thanks Davidmcn
