Dispelling the myths around getting a mortgage while self-employed.
Self-employed mortgages are used by freelancers, contractors or business owners whose income comes from their own efforts rather than employment.
Self-employed mortgages are no harder, or easier, to get than a regular mortgage, provided you can prove your income is sustainable.
Lenders typically want to see two to three years of self-employment and accounts, though some will consider you after nine to 12 months with a strong track record.
How much you can borrow depends on a lender assessing your income and outgoings and establishing an amount they feel you can comfortably repay.
Obtaining a self-employed mortgage with bad credit may be more difficult but is still possible, with lenders considering how your credit problems arose and your industry experience.
