I am considering getting a mortgage in the next 1-2 years for a house purchase (my first time) and as P2P is starting to become a fairly sizeable amount of yearly income I just had a couple of questions regarding how this income would be taken into account my mortgage lenders so that I can get everything in order within the next 18 months.
To put some perspective on it. My projected annual income from P2P will likely be in the mid XX,XXX range annually. I also have income from self-employment as the director of a business so will get that side handled also.
1. Would the income from P2P go under the "Interest Received From UK Banks and Building Societies" section on the SA302 form?
2. Would mortgage lenders also consider that I have assets parked inside P2P lenders when declaring total assets (i.e. the XXX,XXX that is invested?) instead of it being cash sat in the bank.
3. Do you think there is any possibility banks may not look favourably upon this income as it could be considered too "high risk"? Or would it be looked at like any other investment income if it can be proven to be relatively stable for 2 years?
Thanks a lot for your help!

I can confirm that HMRC's online version of SA302 (instructions here www.gov.uk/sa302-tax-calculation) includes p2p interest income under the caption "Interest received from UK banks and building societies" even though that is not what it is. I do not know whether this is true of other versions of the form. I cannot help with your other questions!

Thanks for confirming Point 1!
I presumed that to be the case but thanks for clearing it up.

Would you lend to someone based on their investment income? What questions would you ask someone?
Each lender is different, some take dividend income, bonuses, Trust fund etc etc into account, others don't
Ask a Broker to find you one that does and if not, the next best deal available
I don't think anyone can categorically say all lenders will, some might be able to suggest a small number that do, but a Broker will have a greater market coverage then here

Mortage lenders differ in how they treat investment income. Some may disregard it, others may allow a multiple of only one on it. This is often mentioned in their lending policies that are quite often made available online. The treatment might also differ depending on whether someone is retired or not.
