How we evaluate mortgage enquiries using our Six Pillars of Lending
The Six Pillars of Lending are the aspects that our experts consider when assessing any mortgage enquiry. These six pillars include:
- Loan to Value (LTV)
- Loan to Income (LTI) – aka ‘Income Multiple’
- Affordability
- Standard of the subject property
- Individual circumstances
- Credit history
Using the six pillars process helps us to look at the strength of an application using truly manual underwriting, helping us meet your clients’ needs.
