Are any lenders still accepting overtime?

Just that really.

Had an offer from Nationwide, who accepted 100% of overtime pre Covid, but that fell through. Now they’re (understandably) not accepting any overtime at all. Wondering if it’s still worth pursuing a property I viewed just before the lockdown or if it’s going to be impossible to get a mortgage at present.

I have a big deposit but a lot of my salary comes from overtime so I’d need a lender to accept at least some of that.

    At a guess, a lot would depend on what your job would is, possibly a nurse / doctor may be fine.

    Hopefully a broker will see your thread and say if any lenders are.

    There are lenders still accepting overtime. Get a broker on the case for you.
