"Finding mortgage solutions for self-employed individuals, - tailored to your unique financial situation."
Our team of mortgage experts specializes in working with self-employed individuals and understands the unique challenges you may face when seeking a mortgage. We work to understand your financial situation, including your income and expenses, and help you find the best mortgage options available.
Key Points To Consider
As a self-employed home buyer, obtaining a mortgage can be a daunting process. Here are some key factors to consider:
Proof of income: Unlike salaried employees, you may have irregular income streams. As such, you’ll need to provide evidence of your earnings over a longer period of time, typically 2-3 years, through tax returns, bank statements, and other financial documents.
Credit history: A strong credit history is essential to obtaining a mortgage, whether you’re self-employed or not. Make sure you have a good credit score by paying your bills on time and keeping your debt-to-income ratio low.
Deposit: The larger deposit you can make, the better your chances of securing a mortgage.
Debt-to-income ratio: We look at your debt-to-income ratio, which is the amount of debt you have relative to your income. Aim to keep this ratio below 43%, as lenders may be hesitant to lend to someone with a higher ratio.
Documentation: Be prepared to provide a lot of documentation, including tax returns, bank statements, and other financial documents. Make sure you keep your records up-to-date and organised.
Consider a co-signer: If you’re having trouble securing a mortgage on your own, you may want to consider asking a family member or friend to co-sign on the loan. This can help you qualify for a larger loan amount or lower interest rate. However, be aware that your co-signer will be responsible for the mortgage payments if you’re unable to make them.

Gordon Anthony can offer competitive interest rates that can help first-time buyers, self-employed or remortgages that save money in the long run. This can also make your monthly mortgage payments more manageable.
