Self Employed Mortgages - Advice and Quotation

print  e-mail 

Many small business people will have a horror story or two to tell about the hassles they have had trying to arrange a mortgage. It's all too easy to obtain an 'online agreement in principle' only to find that, after a nerve wracking two weeks wait, you're rejected when the underwriter realises you are not a traditional "permanent employee" or asks you to show accounts (which clearly won't reflect what you truly earn - otherwise you need a new accountant!)

The Bytestart team has worked very closely with FreelancerMoney over the past five years and have recommended their mortgage services to many thousands of clients (we have also used them ourselves!). As a self-employed mortgage specialist, they are eager to prove that you can easily secure the same 'High Street' mortgages as a normal company employee - its simply a case of making use of the expertise and contacts that they have built up over many years.

Perhaps you're a first time buyer who's keen to stop funding someone else's mortgage from the rent you pay. You may be 'trading up' to a house that reflects the hard work that you put in each and every day running a small business. You may be looking to invest in a second property for rental as a hedge against uncertain times ahead or simply looking to save substantial amounts of money each month on your existing loan by re-mortgaging fees free to a lower rate.

If you need help securing a mortgage for whatever purpose, simply fill in the Self Employed Mortgage Finder below and FreelancerMoney will be back to your shortly.

Please take time to read our Initial Disclosure Document (.pdf) for further details of our service and regulatory status.
Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.
