Self Employed Mortgages

Self-employed for more than 3 years - If you have been self-employed for more than 3 years then all self employed mortgage lenders would classify this as meeting their requirements.
Self-employed for 2 years - If you have been self-employed for 2 years the availability of our lenders will decrease, but we will still have options for you.
Self-employed for less then 1 year – We will be restricted to fewer lenders, but lenders none the less. We understand how difficult it is to obtain a mortgage after the first years of trading.

Self employed customers have historically had a hard time when applying to re- mortgage. Self employed customers are considered a higher risk and as such are charged more in both upfront costs and higher rates. But this historic treatment is no longer happening thanks to the specialist self employed lenders who Crystal Clear Home Loans work closely with. The criteria that self employed lenders use is somewhat different to that of a status mortgage, but times have changed, now it is a lot easier to find the right self employed mortgage for you.
If you are self employed, a company director, contract worker or freelancer it is likely that your income is minimised for tax purposes, you may also be unable to provide three years trading accounts. As a consequence it can be difficult to secure the mortgage you want.

With some self employed mortgages, you declare what your income is; there is no need to provide any proof. Rather than providing documentary evidence such as accounts, P60s or payslips instead you simply certify that you have sufficient income to service the repayments. You could qualify for up to 95% of the property value. Beware though- lying about your income is a criminal offence.
