Frequently Asked Questions
Is it harder to get a mortgage if self-employed?
It can be more difficult to get a mortgage if you are self-employed. This is because lenders view this type of employment as higher risk when compared to those who are employed with a permanent, full-time contract. However, there are plenty of ways you can boost your chances of securing a mortgage. By providing evidence of two or more years of income, especially if it’s consistent, this should help you. A mortgage broker can help get you on the property ladder.
Can I get a mortgage if I’ve been self-employed for six months - one year?
Yes – you can. While lenders typically prefer self-employed home buyers to have at least two years’ worth of accounts, there are other criteria they will take into consideration, including your savings, assets and evidence of any upcoming contracts. By speaking to a specialist mortgage broker, they can help match you with lenders who are more flexible.
