Mortgage application tip
Why lenders ask for bank statements
Lenders usually request 3–6 months of statements to check affordability and spot anything that could delay an application.
- What they’re checking: income, committed outgoings, overdrafts/loans, and regular spending patterns
- Common trip-ups: screenshots instead of PDFs, missing pages, and statements not matching payslips
- What to prep next: ID, payslips, proof of deposit, and (if applicable) tax documents
THINK CAREFULLY BEFORE SECURING OTHER DEBTS AGAINST YOUR HOME.
YOUR HOME MAY BE REPOSSESSED IF YOU DO NOT KEEP UP REPAYMENTS ON YOUR MORTGAGE OR ANY OTHER DEBT SECURED ON IT.
IMPORTANT: With investments, your capital is at risk. Pensions and investments can go down in value as well as up, so you could get back less than you invest.
