  • We’re about to get a home improvement loan from our mortgage provider, and my partner is 6 months pregnant. She’s looking to take 1 year paid maternity, with 6 months full pay then a sliding scale of reductions for the rest.

    Will this matter to the lender? Do we need to disclose this?

  • I wouldn’t disclose it but I’m a random dude off the internet and not a FCA accredited financial advisor 😊

  • Will this matter to the lender?

    Yes because it effects income and your ability to pay/affordability

    Do we need to disclose this?

    I'd 2nd the random dude off the internet approach and not disclose. Also not a FCA accredited financial advisor.

  • We bought whilst my other half was pregnant. So far as I remember it was never asked so we never mentioned it. The intention was always to return to work after maternity leave so it didn't make a long term difference.
