If you’re self-employed and searching for home finance, navigating the mortgage process can be stressful. Traditional lenders can take a more complicated view of self-employed applicants, which can lead to the process becoming challenging and sometimes discouraging. Let’s get into some of the common challenges self-employed individuals can face, as well as the solutions available to you that we can help you leverage, to make your home finance experience as easy and enjoyable as possible!
Does your income and cash flow fluctuate throughout the year, making it difficult to show steady income through traditional means? You’re not alone! This variability can often make financing through traditional banks and their products complicated due to their stricter policies around income verification.
However, some banks and lenders have specific products for business owners that consider variability in income and make this process much smoother by utilising a commonsense approach in their assessment.
Are you tired of gathering extensive documentation to prove your income and financial stability for your application? Many who are self-employed feel like this too! The complexity and volume of required documents for traditional banks and their products can be overwhelming and time-consuming, adding stress to an already challenging process.
To help make this process easier for business owners, banks and lenders have developed specialised ways of verifying income that drastically reduce the number of documents required and the complexity of assessment, leading to quicker approvals and settlements.
Are you concerned about the potential higher interest rates and fees that are commonly associated with home finance when self-employed? A lot of business owners we speak to feel like their home finance goals of a new purchase, refinance or equity release are further away than if they were working as an employee, due to the perceived additional costs incurred when seeking home finance while self-employed.
The good news is this isn’t the case! There are many lenders in the market that favour self-employed applicants and provide products specifically designed to make this process as easy and achievable as possible.
