It’s important to make sure you can afford your loan.

Affordability Assessment Information

Secured Loans > Affordability Assessment

As Evolution Money are responsible financial service providers, it’s important to us to be sure that customers applying for second charge borrowing are able to afford their loan now and throughout the loan term.

To facilitate this, a loan application will require a detailed Income and Expenditure Assessment to be discussed. This will include information about

  • All the money coming in and out every month, and all payments being made
  • Including : Contractual payments such as mortgage, loans and services
  • Other regular amounts for food, clothes, travel and entertainment.

When making an application, one of our friendly mortgage advisors will go through the information with you. So before speaking to one of our team, it’s recommended for you have this form in front of you (either printed or online) and this will assist the smooth progress of the loan application

Please remember, you need to be as honest and as accurate as possible, so that we can advise you on the most affordable loan which suits you and your circumstances.

If we are unable to carry out the affordability assessment because you have chosen not to provide the required information;

  • Evolution Money will not be able to process your loan application.
  • You will not receive the credit that you have applied for.

A credit search will be carried out so that we can clarify all the information provided. You can find more information on credit searches here www.evolutionmoney.co.uk/legal/privacy-policy

As part of the application process, we will also ask you to provide copies of your bank statements and wage slips or Self-employed account documents as evidence to confirm what is discussed together;

  • 3 pay slips if paid monthly – 4 pay slips if paid weekly or fortnightly
  • 3 recent monthly bank statements
  • If Self-employed : SA302 form or Certified Accountants Certificate

We hope that our Income and Expenditure form helps you record the financial information you need for the affordability assessment, and for your Evolution Money loan application.
