Complex income.A clearer case.

Self-employment, contracts, retained profit, bonuses and foreign currency do not fit one underwriting template. OMF starts with how the income is earned, evidenced and likely to continue.

Start with the evidence

Not irregular.
Just not identical.

A lender may read salary, dividends, retained profit, day rate, commission or overseas earnings in different ways. The job is to match the evidence and explanation to criteria that can genuinely support the case.

Who it’s for

  • Directors and business owners balancing salary, dividends and retained profit.
  • Contractors and freelancers paid through day rates or changing engagements.
  • Borrowers combining bonus, commission, investments, rent or foreign-currency earnings.

Build the income map

Start with how
the money arrives.

The useful documents depend on the income shape. Organise the pattern before chasing a headline rate.

Eligibility and income treatment vary by lender and individual circumstances. A well-presented case is not a guarantee of acceptance or a mortgage offer.

Complex income questions

Questions?
Answered.

01Can retained profit be considered for a mortgage?

Some lenders may consider retained profit for suitable director or business-owner cases, subject to accounts, business performance and their criteria.

02How do lenders assess contractor income?

Approaches vary. Some focus on contract value or day rate; others use accounts or tax records. Track record, remaining contract and gaps may matter.

03Can bonus or foreign income be used?

A lender may accept some or all of it depending on currency, history, regularity, evidence and its affordability policy.

The form is standard. Your income may not be.
