We’re saying yes to non-standard income

20th February 2023

At Clydesdale Bank we can now accept non-standard income in some cases. We can look at income from investments and trusts, even when it’s not currently being drawn.

Just another great way we’re helping customers get the loan amount they need.

A real-life example

Here’s how we recently said yes to a customer, using their non-standard income:

Loan requested: £450,000 (38% LTV)

Background: This was a like-for-like residential remortgage. The customer had no traditional earned or self-employed income. What they did have was a big pension pot which they weren’t drawing from, plus a managed investment portfolio.

Their pension pot was £1.5 million, and as the customer was over 55, they were able to access the funds. In addition, they had a UK-based sterling managed investment portfolio worth £2.7 million.

The outcome: All things considered – LTV, like-for-like re-mortgage, strong asset and affordability position – we agreed to use this income in our affordability assessment and were able to provide an agreement in principle.
