Self-employed mortgage applicants to provide accounts

Self Employed Mortgages | Mortgages for The Self Employed - Active Financial

Ever since the financial crisis of 2008/2009, mortgage lenders have changed the way they process applications for self-employed mortgages. They will no longer accept self-certification to approve a mortgage for a self-employed applicant.

Legally, you now need to prove your earnings. This is to ensure you are going to be able to afford to pay back the loan. This also ensures that the lender has made a responsible decision in giving you a mortgage.

In most cases, lenders request at least three years of accounts. This is easy enough for many businesses to achieve. If you’re new to trading, however, and only have one year of accounts, getting a mortgage might be more difficult.

However, with a broker that specialises in mortgages for self-employed with one-year accounts, you can achieve a successful application. If you have two years of accounts, please see our specific page for more details.

Securing mortgages for self employed with 1 years accounts

As a self-employed business owner applying for a mortgage, you will need to prove your earnings. If you have only one year of financial records, you need to demonstrate two things. Firstly, you must prove that your business is viable. Secondly, you must show that your income is stable.

To showcase your stable income, you should provide lenders with information such as future business plans and recent reports. You can also provide them with information on future contracts to show them projected income.

Many high street banks will not provide a mortgage for a self-employed applicant with only one year of accounts. However, there are specialist lenders available that are willing to work with you. With years of experience in self-employed mortgages, they are able to find you the best possible rates.

Finding those lenders and securing a decent mortgage deal is no easy mission. To help you get started you should seek the assistance of an expert mortgage adviser who has experience in this field.

What our clients say...

5/5
I can not recommend Active Mortgage highly enough, they not only met, but exceeded every expectation, and without them, I doubt very much that I would have the home and great mortgage rate that I do today! As a single first-time buyer with a complicated income, they approached my situation and options with positivity & confidence. No query was too daft, everything was explained clearly and the entire process was as just about stress free as a house purchase can be.
Lauren Carter
