Most Badshot Lea buyers fall into one of three income categories that require different lender approaches. Employed buyers with payslips and a clean credit history are the most straightforward — standard high-street lenders at 4.5x income. Self-employed buyers with SA302s and company accounts require specialist lenders who include retained profit or net profit rather than salary alone — the difference can be £100,000–£400,000 in maximum borrowing on identical underlying earnings. Day rate contractors in the Farnham area benefit from specialist annualisation (day rate × 46 weeks × 5x) rather than umbrella or limited company salary assessment.

We confirm the optimal deposit level for your target Badshot Lea property before any application.
