When you’re working for yourself, it’s important to have an experienced self-employed mortgage broker to help you navigate the purchase process
So, you’ve struck out on your own in the world of self-employment and now you want to buy a home. Congratulations. But some of the questions you’re probably asking yourself are: ‘can I get a mortgage if I’m self-employed?’ and ‘how many years of accounts do I need before a lender will consider me?’
The good news? Getting a self-employed mortgage in the UK is getting easier as lenders now recognise that far more people are working for themselves. It means getting a mortgage when self-employed is no longer the uphill struggle it once was, although for speed and peace of mind, it’s definitely worth talking to a self-employed mortgage specialist. And that’s where Oportfolio can help.
What are the self-employed mortgage requirements in the UK?
If you’re applying for a self-employed mortgage, naturally you’ll need to pass certain affordability criteria and also show your income which may be a salary, profit or dividends.
Mortgage lenders usually require the last two or three years of accounts as well as three months of business bank statements and you’ll have to show your income, expenses and business operating costs. If you’re a company director who receives dividends, that may give you greater borrowing potential.
