At Barrett Mortgages we speak with self-employed people all the time and a lot of them don’t think they can get a mortgage because they own a business or are working for themselves means they are unable or unlikely to obtain a mortgage. The truth is that lenders are all too aware of the particular situation for self-employed people and have a pretty straightforward process in place to work out how much they would be prepared to lend. Whether you are a sole trader, a partner or a company director, there is a process by which you can obtain a mortgage. In the case of sole traders and partners, the main criteria considered is the individual’s net profits while for company directors it’s their salary and paid dividends that are looked at. Some lenders are aware that many business owners will not be drawing all of the money they are entitled to from the business and so will also accept the applicant’s share of net profits and salary.
When you have to provide evidence of income lenders will vary in the amount of time that is expected to provide evidence for. Most will look at the income received over the last two or three years and either average it out or take the most recent year as a basis for calculation. However, if you have a good profile, some lenders will make it possible to get a loan with just one year’s accounts. We will be able to help you through this whole process and give you the best advice possible to make your dream become a reality.
