Does child benefit affect mortgages?

[MilaMae]

ie is it classed as income?

It's just according to todays news 50% of current mortgages wouldn't be granted under the new rules.

Just thinking that if CB is classed as income when you apply for a mortgage it could have quite a serious impact for those loosing it when re-mortgaging.

Hoping this isn't the case.

Does anybody know?

mine was classed as income when we got our mortgage

we took out a loan in nov to fund some building works on house, they very much included our cb.

Oh bloody great!

we were never asked about CHB - our lender did not include it as income, nor our CTC/WTC.Some lenders might.

we with abbey and as self employed they very did and acually turned us down at first then taking into account cb said ok
