Michael and Rose want to do some renovations

Michael and Rose are looking to remortgage their home to capital raise £25,000 for some home improvements, including a new kitchen and some new windows and doors.

They work in the NHS and have varying income

Michael is employed with the NHS earning a basic salary of £43,600. He receives additional income for working nights and weekends (on shift patterns), which can be seen on all 3 of his payslips as well as his P60.

Rose is also employed by the NHS on a part-time basis on a zero hours contract. She has an 18 month track record of this type of work and her income is consistent each month. The average of her last 3 months payslips equates to a similar annual amount as seen on her P60.

Good to know The Underwriter was satisfied with the sustainability of Michael’s income, as does not do more than 50 hours per week in total. For Rose’s income, the Underwriter was happy her hours have always been consistent with regular pay. As she has more than 12 months history of being in a Zero Hours contract, the Underwriter can consider this income and is satisfied that the level being used for affordability is sustainable.

Rose has a side-hustle

Rose has a self-employed business making and selling jewellery, which she sells on various online platforms.

She does this alongside her job in the NHS and has been for 4 years. She has provided 2 years of SA302’s to confirm this element of her income.

The Underwriter asked Rose some questions to establish how she fits in her side-hustle alongside her NHS job, as well as looking after her family. Rose confirmed that she spends a few hours each evening making and selling the jewellery, which is her hobby.

Michael disclosed that he had a small default for £230, which was for a communications account.
