Mortgage Capacity Report – Helping You Move Forward with Confidence
Going through a separation or divorce? If you need clarity on your mortgage options after a relationship breakdown, a Mortgage Capacity Report can help. At Orchard Mortgage Solutions, we specialise in providing clear, detailed reports tailored to your situation—helping you take the next step with confidence.
What Is a Mortgage Capacity Report?
A Mortgage Capacity Report is a professional assessment of how much you may be able to borrow from a mortgage lender, based on your personal and financial circumstances. It’s often required during divorce or separation proceedings to assist with financial settlements.
Family courts and solicitors regularly request this type of report to establish what each party can afford when it comes to buying a new home or staying in the current property. It’s a key part of understanding your future housing affordability.
When Might You Need a Mortgage Capacity Report?
If you’re going through any of the following situations, a mortgage affordability report for divorce or separation may be essential:
- You’re separating from your partner or spouse.
- You’re involved in divorce or financial proceedings.
- You’re unsure if you can afford to stay in your home.
- You want to buy a new home but need to know your borrowing potential.
- A solicitor or family court has requested evidence of your mortgage capacity.
What’s Included in a Mortgage Capacity Report?
Our Mortgage Capacity Reports are clear, personalised, and easy to understand. Each report includes:
- An assessment of your income, expenditure, and financial commitments
- An estimated borrowing range based on current mortgage lending criteria
- A review of available mortgage deals and interest rates
