What is a mortgage capacity report?

A mortgage capacity report is an independent, expert assessment of how much someone can borrow for a mortgage — based on their specific financial circumstances. Across England and Wales, it's most commonly used during divorce and financial settlement proceedings to establish a realistic picture of future housing affordability.

Unlike a simple mortgage agreement in principle, our reports are detailed, evidence-based documents prepared by FCA-authorised mortgage advisers. They're designed to withstand scrutiny in court — whether used for negotiations, FDR hearings, or final hearings.
