Self Employed Mortgages
Getting Accepted for Self Employed Mortgages
A Sizeable Deposit
The bigger the deposit you have, the greater your chances of acceptance. It will typically need to be a minimum of 10%, but you will also benefit from some significantly lower interest rates if you can raise more than that.
Accountant's Figures
Mortgage lenders will look for self-employed applicants to submit business accounts that have been put together by a qualified, chartered accountant. In this way, they can be certain of your reliability.
Showing a Profit
Being self-employed, you are reliant on the success of your business to generate a regular income. That’s why lenders will want to conduct wider profitability checks to ensure that you are a worthwhile risk.
Your Current Age
The length of mortgage term available to you and closely linked, its affordability will depend on your age next birthday. Lenders’ criteria differ, but you will need to be under the age of 75 when the mortgage term ends.
Good Credit Score
Your best chance of being approved for a mortgage is with a good credit score. A clean credit file with no defaults or missed payments proves that you manage money responsibly and you are a lower risk.
