If you chat to Heritable about getting your mortgage when you are self-employed or a contractor what can you expect?
In short; we will look at your circumstances and request details of your company accounts or recent contracting history in order to give you an idea of how much you can borrow, who will lend to you and what you will need to provide in order to obtain a mortgage. Read on for more information.
How Much?
Firstly, we would chat through your circumstances to identify affordability (how much you could afford to borrow) based on your company accounts/ earnings.
It’s commonly thought that you have to have three years’ worth of accounts to be able to get a mortgage, however there are lenders out there who will take a view if you have less that that.
Similarly there is a perception that you need to have a consistent contracting history for a minimum of 12 – 24 months but increasingly lenders are looking at this in more detail and are prepared to look at a shorter time frame.
