The Road to Homeownership for Self-Employed and Company Directors with Mortgage321

Navigating the mortgage landscape can be particularly challenging for the self-employed and company directors, whose financial profiles don't always fit the conventional borrower mold. At Mortgage321, we specialise in turning these unique challenges into success stories. Here's how we help independent professionals across the board gain a foothold on the property ladder.


Understanding the Self-Employed Mortgage Hurdles

The primary hurdle for self-employed individuals and company directors seeking mortgages lies in proving a stable income. Traditional lenders often look for consistent payslips as evidence of earnings, which doesn't align with the variable income streams that are common for those who work for themselves or run their own businesses.


Income Verification

Mortgage321 understands that income for the self-employed can ebb and flow. We work with lenders who are familiar with and sympathetic to the nature of self-employed earnings. Instead of the usual two to three years' worth of accounts, we find lenders who are willing to consider:


  • One year of accounts

  • SA302 tax calculations

  • Retained profits for company directors


Assessing Affordability

Our assessment goes beyond the tax year. We delve into your business's performance, trajectory, and the sector's health to present a robust financial picture to potential lenders.
