We are the Foster Carer Mortgage Specialists
What is a Foster Carer mortgage?
Foster carers can apply for a foster care mortgage that means all your fostering income is counted for calculating your mortgage.
We have established working relationships with lenders for foster carer mortgages and work with The Fostering Network and all their members to find them the best mortgage deals. You may need a mortgage to purchase a larger property or make improvements to your existing one.
Frequently asked questions
Will I qualify for a mortgage if I am a foster carer?
Our foster care mortgage specialists understand the challenges of securing a mortgage and will be able to look at all your income, supported by the evidence of your earnings from your fostering agency or local authority, to ascertain your affordability.
Does foster care money count as income for a mortgage?
Yes. Our specialist foster care mortgage advisers will count all your foster care income when looking at the options available.
How much deposit will I need to get a foster care mortgage?
This will depend on your location in the UK and the length of time you have been fostering. A minimum of a 5% deposit is required if you have been fostering for 2 years. Often a slightly higher deposit will be required if you have been fostering for less than 2 years.
