FAQ's From Self Employed Applicants

I’m self employed in York, can I get a mortgage?

Accorion Arrow

If you manage to submit at least one year’s accounts, you should not have an issue getting a mortgage. As a mortgage broker in York, we see that a lot of lenders use your salary plus dividend to work out the maximum mortgage amount that you would be able to borrow. We’ve also seen some lenders go off your net profit.

Remember that you will also have to pass mortgage lender’s credits checks and affordability assessments before being accepted too.

How many years on the books do I need?

Accorion Arrow

Generally, most lenders prefer a track record of at least two to three years of financial documentation, such as tax returns or company accounts.

This thorough examination of your financial records is crucial for assessing income stability and establishing your eligibility for a mortgage. While some lenders may consider one year of accounts, it’s important to be aware that this might constrain your mortgage options and could potentially influence the terms of the loan.

How will a Lender assess my income?

Accorion Arrow

The evaluation of income for self employed individuals compares differently to salaried employees. Lenders typically analyse your average annual income over a specific period, often spanning the past two to three years, to gain a comprehensive understanding of your financial stability.

I’m a Director of my own Limited Company

Accorion Arrow

When applying for a mortgage, even if you are a director of your own business, you are typically regarded as an employee. To undergo assessment, most lenders require that you own less than 25% of the shares in the company. Lenders combine the dividends you receive with your annual salary to calculate your overall yearly earnings, which, in turn, determines the maximum borrowing amount.

There are lenders who base their income calculations on net profit rather than dividends or salary. This approach can be advantageous for directors who maintain relatively low drawings from their business. It’s advisable to explore different lender options to find the one that aligns best with your financial situation as a self-employed individual
