Securing a good mortgage deal when you are a sole trader or part of a partnership can be particularly difficult, but it certainly isn’t impossible.
If this is a problem you are facing then Active can help. We understand the needs of sole traders and partners, and specialise in helping this community secure the best mortgage and property refinancing deals on the market.
Did you know that 76% of private sector businesses do not employ anyone aside from the owner(s)? 56% of these are sole traders, and 20% in partnerships.
This is a huge number of people and business owners that are keeping this country running and our economy growing. Active do not want you to be distracted from running your business; stressing and struggling to secure a mortgage deal that reflects the work you do and the income you generate.
Our preparation tips for successfully applying for a mortgage if you are a sole trader or part of a partnership include:
Use a chartered accountant to sign off your accounts, a mortgage lender will look more favourably if you do.
Check your credit report and look at improving it before the application. This can be done in a number of ways; ensuring you are paying off as much credit card debt as possible, you are on the electoral roll and paying your bills on time.
There are no specialist mortgages that are designed for sole traders and business partners available from lenders, but it is about being able to obtain a mortgage deal, without the security of an employer confirming your income.
