mortgage with bonus income

We helped a client to secure a £1 Million+ mortgage with bonus income within 7 working days. But, it wasn’t as simple as it might seem.

The Challenge

A client with strong earnings needed a large mortgage quickly, but their income structure included variable bonus payments and restricted stock, which many lenders treat cautiously.

The Constraints of Getting a Large Mortgage with Bonus Income

  • Complex remuneration structure
  • Tight purchase deadline
  • Inconsistent lender criteria
  • High-value borrowing requiring detailed underwriting

How We Solved It

We:

  • Packaged bonus and stock income into a clear, lender-ready case
  • Selected a lender aligned with complex income profiles
  • Managed underwriting questions proactively to avoid delays

Timeline

  • Day 1–2: Strategy & income packaging
  • Day 3: Application submitted
  • Day 4–6: Underwriting managed
  • Day 7: Offer issued

The Outcome

  • £1m+ mortgage offer secured
  • Offer received in just 7 working days
  • Complex income fully considered
