There are over 3 million self-employed people in the UK. These people may find it more difficult finding a mortgage from a mainstream lender.
We at Mortgagemap can connect you to a mortgage adviser who specialises in this type of situation.
Those is standard full-time employment have a guaranteed income to rely on and can get references from their employer as well as be able to show payslips proving their income. Mainstream lenders like this as reduces their perceived risk.
If you are self-employed or perhaps working on a short-term contract, you could be financially sound, and able to keep up payments easily, but that doesn't make it easy for you to prove you'll keep up payments to your lender. They want to know that you'll be able to keep up payments for 25 years, not just over the next year.
Should you be on a short-term contract, you are not guaranteed to get another contract, and should you be self-employed you have to chase payments and are working on contracts as well.
