How our self employed mortgages are different

You only need one year's accounts

Many lenders require you to provide two or more years’ accounts when applying for a self-employed mortgage. However, we believe that new traders should be able to apply for mortgages and could get on the property ladder sooner. That’s why we only ask for a minimum of one years’ accounts (or an SA302 and corresponding Tax Year Overview form) during your mortgage application.

The way we calculate self-employed income

When applying for a self-employed mortgage with us, we are flexible with the way we calculate your income. We will consider you as self-employed where you have more than a 25% shareholding in a limited company and we will use the following income to assess your case:

Either

• Salary paid
• Dividends received OR
• Share of net profit

Am I eligible for self employed mortgage?

Our criteria for a self-employed mortgage is simple and, in many ways, similar to our regular mortgage requirements. To be eligible for a self-employed with us, you will need:

• One years’ accounts (or an SA302 and corresponding Tax Year Overview form)
• Proof of income and expenditure
• At least a 25% deposit
• To be at least 18 and a maximum of 80 years of age at the end of the mortgage term

Other documents will be required during the application process, and you can find out more about what you will need in our guide to getting your mortgage when you’re self-employed.
