Discover the possibilities of Self Employed Mortgages!

This will then allow them to go and search for the perfect mortgage deal for you. They will always try and pick out the deal that will benefit you most.

Typically, for a mortgage, you are going to need a minimum of 5% of the property’s purchase price. If you have had credit problems in the past, lenders may ask for a higher percentage. This could be anywhere between 10%-15%.

Firstly, we will get you to fill out our Fact Find to learn a little more about your mortgage situation.

After your consultation, we will arrange a mortgage Agreement in Principle for you within 24-hours.

You will need to provide a variety of documents to support your mortgage application. You’ll be asked to hand in your photographic ID, bank statements, latest P60 and a couple more things.

If you’re Self Employed, you may need to provide 2 years of accounts’.

Just because you are Self Employed doesn’t mean that you can’t get a mortgage, although, it may be a little more difficult.

As a Self Employed mortgage applicant, you will have to submit at least one year’s accounts. Mostly, lenders will use your salary plus dividend to calculate the maximum mortgage amount that you’ll be able to borrow, whereas others will go off your net profit.

If you’ve suffered from bad credit in the past, you may be required to put down a higher deposit than usual. This could be somewhere between 10%-15% of the property’s purchase price.

We always recommend obtaining an AIP as soon as possible. Preferably, you want to have one in place prior to viewing houses in Durham. You may be allowed to negotiate prices if you have an AIP in place when you are viewing houses.
