Types of self-employed mortgages

Matching mortgages

Mortgage lenders might have different self-employed mortgage requirements and look at different aspects of your earnings.

Mortgage lenders will look at your income over the last few years. If your earnings are on the up, they’ll base figures on the last few years. If they’re decreasing, they’ll base the mortgage offer on these numbers. 

Many lenders use the day rate to determine how much they’d lend. Keep good records as a contractor, the lender will want to see the stability of your income. 

Lenders look at your income from the last few years and see how the turnover is accounted for. Lenders look at profit, retained profits, salary, and dividends.

While sole traders, partners, directors and contractors are the most obvious markets for self-employed mortgages, it’s a broad definition. That’s why some lenders really specialise in making their self-employed mortgages as flexible as you are – and we specialise in connecting you with them!
