Bonus/Over time for loan approval

Are planning on using your bonus income or overtime income to help you get a mortgage?

...If so, then there are three important things you need to be aware of:

1) Lenders can't use bonus income or overtime income unless you can prove you have been receiving this income for 2 years.

2) The employer has to indicate that the bonus or overtime income will likely continue.

3) Lenders will use a two year average of bonus and/or overtime income. So, if you got alot this year, but not last year then we will have to use an average of both years.
