Mortgage for professional rugby player buying new family home
Case details
After explaining his financial situation to a number of high-street lenders, our client was disappointed that he couldn't secure a mortgage.
He had a contract with an Aviva Premiership club and also received a number of performance related bonuses.
Solution:
Many of the banks and building societies work out how much they lend sportsmen based on their age and anticipated retirement age.
