The latest industry news and guides from Active Mortgages.
Securing a good mortgage deal when you are a self-employed barrister can be particularly difficult, but it certainly isn’t impossible.
So, if securing a mortgage is a problem you are facing then Active Mortgages can help. We understand the needs of barristers, and specialise in helping this community secure the best mortgage and property refinancing deals on the market.

Wouldn’t you rather be spending your time supporting your clients than dealing with complicated paperwork and messing around trying to find a mortgage company that will give you a suitable deal?
A broker that specialises in securing the right offers for barristers will save you time, hassle, and money and that is exactly what Active Mortgages does.

What you need to prepare to make your mortgage application depends on your circumstances. Your initial consultation with Active Mortgages will ascertain those circumstances and what they mean for your mortgage application.
For any new mortgage application you are going to need to show proof of earnings, either as an individual or through your business accounts. Gather as much of this information as you can, particularly as a self-employed applicant as it is naturally harder to prove income when you are not receiving a direct salary.
A key area which affects all mortgage applicants is credit history. If your credit rating is not as strong or healthy as it could be, spend time doing everything you can to improve this before applying for a mortgage. This is an important indicator to mortgage providers that you are a good investment for them. The higher your credit the better rate and deal you are likely to receive.
Your mortgage advisers at Active Mortgages are here to assist you in finding the property of your dreams and look forward to helping barristers just like you make it happen. Arranging a consultation is quick and easy. Simply fill out our contact form and a member of the personal trainer mortgage team will be in touch.
