What is a self certified mortgage deal?

If you are a freelancer, an unsalaried director, work on commission or otherwise have trouble proving regular income, this might be the right choice for you. Instead of providing standard financial data, such as payslips, to be approved for a mortgage, all you have to do is sign a declaration agreeing that you can afford the monthly repayments. Most lenders will only ask you to sign a declaration agreeing that you can afford the loan repayments, however, as advisors it will be necessary for us to assess affordability and to do so we will ask you to provide reasonable evidence of your earnings.

PLEASE NOTE: Although the Lender may not require evidence of income, we will require evidence so that we can establish affordability of the mortgage. We will not give advice or process a loan where we cannot evidence sufficient income to meet the mortgage commitments.

Is a self certified mortgage deal right for you?

It’s worth taking a look at the following points before you decide to take out a self certified mortgages. Although they are very useful deals for a wide variety of people, they are not right for everyone:

 You don’t need to provide accounts, payslips or statements to be approved

 Fixed, capped, tracker and discount deals are all available

 This may be a good choice for: people on multiple incomes; part-time employees; workers on a bonus-reliant income; people who receive much of their income from shares and investments; unsalaried directors; commission workers; contractors, and freelancers

 If your current income doesn’t reflect what you expect to earn in the near future, you can self-certify to take that into account

 However - due to increased risk for the lender, this type of deal generally has higher interest rates than traditional mortgages

 Often requires a large deposit, at least 15%
