Our preparation tips for successfully applying for a mortgage if you are a sole trader or part of a partnership include:
Prepare your certified earning reports for as far back as possible. At least two years but some lenders may ask for 5 years. So best to have as many as you can. You need to show your business is profitable.
HMRC Tax reports are required when applying for sole trader mortgages. At least last two years
Contracts – you need to prove that your earnings will continue. Show the lender your business is safe and you can repay the mortgage. This could potentially be more important if your business has had a slower year recently.
Use a chartered accountant to sign off your accounts, a mortgage lender will look more favourably if you do.
Check your credit report and look at improving it before the application. Pay off as much credit card debt as possible to achieve this goal. Another way is to ensure you are on the electoral roll and paying your bills on time.
Lenders don’t offer special mortgages for sole traders and business partners. But you can still get a mortgage without an employer verifying your income.
