Mortgage Question?
#1
![Question](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/icons/icon5.gif)
Bit of a silly question but thought i would ask it anyway..
been here 2 months now and need to start looking at getting a mortgage hubby is working, but im not yet getting kids settled in school, when we go to apply for a mortgage do they take into account the money that is paid form center link for child benefit? as this just boosts our income and looking at the mortgage calculators it would allow us to borrow the amount we need if they took it into account, if not will have to wait to i find a job.....
Anybody else had this situation

hello,
Yes you can count your child benefit as part of your income, we did.
Good luck
