Mortgage Capacity Reports

Professional reports for divorce and Family Court proceedings, providing a clear and accurate assessment of your potential mortgage borrowing capacity.
Mortgage capacity reports are not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority and do not constitute mortgage advice.

We provide professional Mortgage Capacity Reports tailored for individuals navigating divorce or separation. These reports are often required in Family Court proceedings to demonstrate your potential borrowing power and to help establish realistic financial expectations.

Each report is independently researched and written to Family Court standards, ensuring clarity, transparency, and credibility for all parties involved.

What Is a Mortgage Capacity Report?

A Mortgage Capacity Report is an official document used to show how much mortgage borrowing you could reasonably obtain after a separation or divorce.
The level of detail depends on the stage of proceedings for example, during early financial disclosure or at the Financial Dispute Resolution (FDR) hearing.

These reports help to:

  • Establish realistic financial expectations post-separation

  • Provide the Family Court with clear evidence of your borrowing capacity

  • Support fair financial settlements and negotiations

  • Give both parties and solicitors a factual foundation for discussions

Every report is produced by qualified mortgage professionals with current market research and up-to-date lender criteria.
