Self Employed Mortgages

We understand there’s a little bit more legwork required to get a mortgage when you’re self employed, which is why we’re on hand to make sue you don’t waste time with the wrong products.

If you’re self-employed, you may be wondering if you’re able to get a mortgage. The good news is you are. Self-employed mortgages are available, they’re just not as straightforward as if you have a typical salary.

Proving What You Can Afford

The main stumbling block for self-employed mortgages is being able to supply proof of affordability.

Being self-employed, you may find your income differs month-on-month. In a lenders eyes, this could be an issue when determining whether you’re able to make consistent mortgage repayments.

Lenders typically want you to have been trading for 2-3 years, and look for 2 years accounts as proof of sustained income and with most other mortgages. These accounts will determine what a lender will let you borrow.

  • If you are a limited company, lenders may look at dividends and salary. They may also look at the company’s net profit.
  • For sole traders and partnerships, lenders will look at net profit as the means for income.

You may find demonstrating sufficient net profit difficult, especially if an accountant has put measures in place to make your accounts tax efficient.

Self-Employed Mortgage Products

Many self-employed applicants have access to similar rates to employed applicants. The products are often similar, but it is the affordability that is the differentiating factor. If you’re self-employed, you’re not limited by the number of products available.

How Can I Improve My Chances of Getting A Self-Employed Mortgage?

  • Make sure you have complete, up to date records of all your business paperwork.
  • Complete a SA302 self-assessment
  • Make use of an independent mortgage broker

Independent mortgage brokers are often well versed in dealing with self-employed mortgage applications. They often have access to a number of lenders and will know where to place your application to give the best chance of being accepted.
Mortgage brokers have the benefit of taking the leg work out of searching an often large number of lenders. You’re also more likely to get a cheaper mortgage deal and not waste time with lenders that may not approve your application.

Self-Employed and Want To Remortgage?

As well as helping to provide self-employed mortgages, we also help with remortgaging too.

So if you already have a home loan and wish to remortgage to move to a bigger home or get a better deal, we can guide you in the right direction. You might not be aware, but your existing lender may be more sympathetic if you’re looking to remortgage, especially if you have a good history of making repayments on time.

Matthew, Kirsti and Katie were all really helpful. Made sure that, as first time buyers, we understood everything that was going on and were always there to help if we needed them to. 100% would recommend you use them!

We have worked with Karen and are extremely happy with how she handled our account. This was the second time we have attempted to buy our first house and we have worked with another mortgage advisor before. While both were excellent in terms of service and communication, Karen's suggestions for solicitors and survey were significantly cheaper to what we were quoted last time. I greatly recommend them.

Cannot recommend Regal Finance enough! Matthew and Kirsti were amazing and completely took the stress out of the process. They were always available to answer questions and guide us through everything. I found they had access to a wider range of products than other advisors I had used in the past. I will be recommending Regal Finance Group to everyone I know!

Matthew and his team have gone above and beyond to help us with our mortgage. As first time buyers we decided to seek advice from a mortgage advisor. After having an offer accepted on a house we needed some support with the mortgage fairly quickly and Matthew managed to fit us in out of usual hours to suit us. We had a very detailed call with him and all our questions were answered. From this point onwards Kirsti managed our application and the whole process was fast and effortless as they managed everything. We made the best decision using Regal finance. If you choose to go with Regal you’ll be in good hands.
