Frequently Asked Questions

How much money can I borrow being self-employed?

As a general guide, you can usually borrow between 4 and 5 times your annual income, with some specialist lenders offering a higher multiple. The key is to find the right lender for you. With access to the whole of the market we can find the correct self employed mortgage for you. Contact us to find out more.

Is it harder to get a self employed mortgage?

Securing a mortgage when you are self employed can be a little more complicated but with the correct paperwork and good advice it does not have to be too difficult. Contact us to find out more. 

What is used to calculate my income for a self employed mortgage?

Most lenders will usually use your salary and dividends to calculate your income and verify this from your full accounts or SA302 year end tax calculations. There are also options to use the retained profit that is within the business, so if this is higher than you show as paid income, we can look at using that to increase affordability. Contact us to find out more.

How many years trading do I need before I can get a self employed mortgage?

Most lenders ask for 3 years accounts but we can help with just 2 or even 1 year’s accounts. Contact us to find out more.
