Petition Action

Mortgage providers use private rental payments for mortgage applications.

Petition Details

Make banks and mortgage providers take into account rental payments as proof of affordability. The system is outdated and need to be revised.

Additional Information

I propose a change in the way mortgages are approved by banks and lenders. Many applicants are refused mortgages based on affordability checks, credit score, yearly income etc. Having a proven track record of payments while renting clearly shows it is affordable. Many mortgage repayments are lower than rental costs allowing money to be saved for maintenance, repairs or renovations
