UK Mortgage with USD Income

Getting a UK Mortgage with US Dollar Income
Obtaining a mortgage deal when any of your financial circumstances are non-standard in some way is trickier. Not all lenders will offer the same deals to borrowers who do not fall into certain, more easily managed categories. This includes people who earn in currencies other than sterling. Given that many UK-based people earn in US dollars, among other foreign currencies, expert help can be beneficial when seeking a mortgage in the UK. This is exactly the sort of specialist service we offer here at Pinnacle Finance.
Are US Dollars Acceptable to UK Mortgage Lenders?
Yes and no. To be clear, some mortgage lenders will only stick to providing loans to people who have a regular income in pounds, or GBP. If some or all of your income is in USD, or US dollars, then you might not be able to apply for a mortgage with certain lenders. There again, some mortgage providers will only offer certain sorts of mortgage products to people who earn their income in dollars, potentially limiting choice.
As such, it can get quite complex even if your partner – in the case of joint applications – earns in sterling while you earn in dollars. The issue so far as lenders are concerned is that fluctuations in international exchange rates – principally USD to GBP – can affect disposable income and, therefore, the ability to repay loans.
At Pinnacle Finance, we will guide you through the market to find a suitable lender given the proportion of which you earn in dollars which offers the sort of mortgage deal you are after. As experts in the whole of the UK mortgage lending market, we are ideally placed to help US dollar earners and people who earn in more than one international currency alike.

As a dollar earner, does being employed or self-employed make a difference when applying for a mortgage?
Yes, it will do. Your employment status usually makes a difference to the way in which mortgage deals are put together by lenders regardless of whether you also earn in currencies other than sterling. If you earn USD as an employee of an American company, then the regular income you receive will not necessarily make any difference – depending on the particular lender involved.
However, self-employed people who are paid in dollars by clients in the US may be seen as more of a risk by some lending providers. That’s why specialist market knowledge in the mortgage sector can be so helpful if you are a contractor or freelancer with dollar earnings.
