"City lawyer relocated to Horsell. Income structure is salary plus deferred bonus plus carried interest. Three banks turned us away or offered inadequate amounts. Localnest Mortgages found a private bank who assessed it all correctly and we bought our forever home in Horsell."
"First-time buyers in Knaphill. We had a reasonable deposit but my partner is on a fixed term contract and every bank we tried just looked at the contract end date. Localnest found a lender who assessed the renewal likelihood and we got the mortgage we needed."
"BTL in West Byfleet to let to London commuters. Localnest assessed the rental yield correctly, compared personal name versus limited company for our situation, and found a competitive rate. Straightforward and efficient throughout."
Woking sits on the London Waterloo mainline with a 26-minute commute to the capital, which has driven sustained demand and price growth across GU21 and GU22. The mix of Victorian and Edwardian terraces in the town centre, 1930s semis in Knaphill and St Johns, and larger detached properties in Horsell and Pyrford means the market spans a wide range — from first-time buyers on terraced stock at 350,000 pounds through to executive detached homes at 800,000 pounds and above.
Woking's workforce is heavily London-facing — many residents work in financial services, tech, media and consulting in the capital while living in Surrey. This creates a high proportion of complex income cases: large bonuses, deferred compensation, share options, PAYE plus freelance income, and limited company directors drawing low salary and high dividends. Standard high street banks handle these cases poorly. We work with specialist lenders who assess total income correctly.
The most common scenario we handle in Woking is the London professional who earns significantly more than their payslip suggests — because much of their income comes from bonus, commission or dividend. A director on 60,000 pounds salary drawing 120,000 pounds from a limited company will be offered far less by a high street bank than by a specialist lender who adds net profit back in. We model the full income picture before recommending a lender, and the difference in borrowing capacity is frequently 100,000 to 200,000 pounds.
Yes — bonus income is one of the most common cases we handle in Woking. Some lenders take 100% of the last bonus, others average over two or three years, and some discount it significantly. We identify the lender whose bonus assessment method produces the highest eligible borrowing for your specific pay structure.
Woking averages between 380,000 and 550,000 pounds depending on property type. 2-bed terraces in the town centre start around 340,000 pounds. 3-bed semis in Knaphill and St Johns range from 420,000 to 520,000 pounds. Larger detached homes in Horsell and Pyrford regularly exceed 750,000 pounds.
Specialist lenders assess limited company directors on salary plus dividends taken, or on salary plus net profit retained in the company — whichever is higher or more advantageous. We identify the optimal assessment method for your accounts position and match you to the right lender.
We cover all of GU21, GU22 and GU23 including Knaphill, St Johns, Horsell, Byfleet, West Byfleet, Pyrford, Send and Ripley.

Woking offers a 24-minute journey to London Waterloo — one of the fastest commutes from any Surrey town. The combination of speed, frequency of service and relatively lower prices than Richmond or Wimbledon makes it one of the most rational value choices for London workers who want Surrey space and connectivity.
