What is a retained profit mortgage?

A retained profit mortgage is a mortgage where the lender allows you to use your share of the company’s profits as part of your application, without requiring you to withdraw it. Some lenders will only take into consideration personal income in their affordability calculations, which can be a problem if you’re withdrawing a modest salary into your personal accounts but own a business with substantial funds. Calculating affordability based on a £30,000 salary compared to £250,000 profits is going to result in a vastly different figure – reducing the amount you can borrow considerably. If you’re not sure how to proceed, talk to an expert mortgage advisor who understands your business accounts and can direct you towards lenders who specialise in retained profit mortgages.
