Residential director

Options
H I'm a residential director of a non profit making company that maintains our housing estate.Im just a representative for the residents, so have a say on what areas get maintained and the costs we get charged. Is this in anyway going to affect my mortgage application? I was considering just resigning as a director so it wouldn't have any affect, as I'm likely to be applying in next couple of months.Would resigning as director also have a negative impact?

    I don't know.  But it strikes me that all a mortgage company is interested in is in the maintainance of the value of the property they are mortgaging.  I would have thought that being residential director would be a way they have of ensuring that rather than the opposite

    If they undertake a search of Companies House, they might find you are a director and ask questions about your directorship, e.g. whether you derive any income from it. They might also ask if you have any liabilities as a result of being a director or shareholder, but I doubt they will do so. The company provides the vehicle to limit shareholders liability, and I doubt you have any personal liability that isn't covered by an insurance policy that the company takes out. 
    The comments I post are my personal opinion. While I try to check everything is correct before posting, I can and do make mistakes, so always try to check official information sources before relying on my posts.

    Neither resigning or remaining will have any impact on your mortgage application.  The lender will not be interested one way or the other.,

    Because it is not relevant to your mortgage application.
