1. Gather information
Before you start looking for a mortgage, gather together the following information:
2. Talk to an advisor
If you do not have the required financial information, perhaps because you have not been in business long enough, talk to an adviser about a self-certification mortgage.
3. Visit a broker
In order to get access to the widest range of mortgages for self-employed borrowers, visit a mortgage broker or financial adviser.
4. Don't forget your fluctuating income
A flexible mortgage can be ideal for the self-employed borrower, as it allows you to make overpayments and underpayments as your income fluctuates from month to month.
5. Don't overstate your income
If you do need a self-certification mortgage, do not be tempted to overstate your income. Borrowing too much is irresponsible - and it is illegal to lie about your income on a mortgage application form.
