Throughout our time as a skilled and acquainted Mortgage Broker in Liverpool, when speaking to various self employed mortgage applicants.
There are so many different scenarios that we came across below we listed some of the more popular scenarios.
We tend to find, banks are not best suited for self employed mortgage applicants when they are looking for Mortgage Advice in Liverpool. Because banks have automated systems and though it is unfortunate, no matter how long you have been banking with them or the amount of money that goes into your account regularly, if you get declined, that’s more or less the end of the line with that particular lender.
Situations like these are where the benefit of using a Mortgage Broker in Liverpool will be great to help and solve your mortgage queries. Our dedicated team can take the information they have accumulated on your financial position and goals, and try to find you a suitable lender whose criteria you fit.
Most high street mortgage lender that can be thought of will use their own in-house credit scoring policies when they are determining whether or not a self employed applicant like yourself can take out a mortgage with them. These credit scoring policies are often based on the mortgage lenders’ history of working within the mortgage industry.
They will take the time to review mortgage repayment statistics of the past, any information they have gathered on repossession and other common patterns to determine what sort of case, to them, would be perceived as a high-risk when lending. Saving the lender both time and money and also yours.
In the past, lenders may have experienced more self employed applicants fall into debt than others who are employed. A lot of the main high street lenders out there may have tight lending criteria, with many wanting to see your profits increasing over three years accounts (minimum), with a selection of them taking a three-year average.
Whilst some lenders out there maybe only request one year’s worth of accounts, we recommend that you make sure that you are in the best possible situation as this will likely increase your success rate in your journey to obtain a mortgage with a lender.
Self employed lending criteria always depends on the lender you are matched up against. Let our Mortgage Advisors in Liverpool take control to make sure you are suitably matched up with the most suitable mortgage lender for your situation. We aim to always get our decision right first time!
We love providing customers with a tailored service that is in line with what they’re looking to achieve. We will always have your best interests in mind.
Working in the industry for over 20 years, as a Mortgage Broker in Liverpool, we have gained a lot of experience in helping various limited company owners, sole traders, and business partners that receive a salary, dividends or a mixture of both, in their quest to acquire them a mortgage on a property. We use our in-depth mortgage knowledge to find solutions for those who are truly in need of the assistance of Mortgage Advisors in Liverpool.
We regularly converse with self-employed customers who for one reason or another have found approaching their bank directly for a mortgage to be rather difficult. Some of the reasons that we have heard for this include (but are not limited to);
Definitely hold off from going to speak with lots of different lenders by yourself, especially if you are not well versed in understanding their lending criteria. Doing so can negatively affect your credit score and perhaps even prevent you from obtaining a mortgage full stop.

As your Mortgage Broker in Liverpool, our first job is to carry out a Fact Find on you to get a bigger picture of your personal and financial situation, so that we can recommend the most suitable mortgage for you. In order to obtain an Agreement in Principle, you will also need to have a credit check performed on you. Once you have provided all the relevant evidential documentation and a valuation of the property has been undertaken, a formal mortgage offer can be issued.
Your free mortgage consultation with Liverpoolmoneyman will last around 30 mins. After your details have been taken, a Mortgage Advisor in Liverpool will then search through thousands of mortgage deals to find a perfect matching deal for you. Once we recommend the deal, you can decide whether to proceed with us or not, it’s completely up to you!
We always recommend that you obtain an Agreement in Principle before you start viewing properties in Liverpool, as they can potentially put you in front of other buyers who don’t have one. Lenders will like the fact that you have prepared before making an offer.
An Agreement in Principle typically remains valid for between 30 and 90 days, but this can change depending on your lender. If your Agreement in Principle expires it can always be refreshed. A Mortgage Broker in Liverpool like us can usually get one sorted for you within 24 hours within your application.
Yes, you can get a second mortgage. You can take out a second mortgage for your current home for things like debt consolidation and home improvements. It is also possible to take out a second mortgage for another property if you want. Usually, this situation comes about when people are interested in a holiday home, are buying for a friend/family member or want a Let to Buy or Buy to Let.
The minimum deposit when buying a house in Liverpool with high street lenders is typically 5%. You will rarely find lenders that will accept a minimum of less than 5%. This minimum can be higher if you have had bad credit in the past.
It is possible but it can be a bit tricky though. When you have had previous credit problems your minimum deposit that is required could rise, we have seen it at 15% before. Having a Specialist Mortgage Broker in Liverpool could really help you get back on track in situations like these.
After you have proven at least one year’s accounts to your lender, you should be able to get a mortgage. Most lenders in Liverpool will use your salary plus dividend to work out your maximum mortgage, however, some can go off your net profit.
