What is used to calculate my income for a self-employed mortgage?
Most lenders use your salary and dividends to calculate your income, often verified through your full accounts or SA302 year-end tax calculations. There are also options to use retained profits within the business to increase affordability, especially if your retained profit is higher than your personal income. Contact us to learn more.
How many years trading do I need before I can get a self-employed mortgage?
While most lenders request 3 years of trading history, Teesside Money can help with just 1- or 2-years’ worth of accounts, including those applying for a one-year self-employed mortgage or a mortgage for self-employed with one-year accounts.
