What is a self certified mortgage?

Many people are unable or find it difficult to prove their income. This could be for a variety of reasons – from working overseas to having a commission-based salary. Your current account details may not even reflect your future earnings. Whatever your situation, you can arrange a mortgage deal by self certifying. 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.

As with all types of secured loan you need to make sure that you don’t borrow more than you can afford to repay. Visit our calculator page to find out what your monthly repayments could be and to make sure that you don’t overstretch your finances.

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.

More self certified mortgage information…

It’s worth considering the following points of self certified mortgage information before you make a decision.

 Accounts, payslips and statements are not required to be approved for a self certified mortgage

 You can arrange a self certified deal at any interest rate type that you would find with traditional mortgages, including fixed, capped, tracker and discount

 Suits a broad range of borrowers, including people on multiple incomes, part-time employees, bonus-reliant income, people who receive much of their income from shares and investments, 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

 Due to extra risk for the lender, self certification usually has higher interest rates than traditional mortgages

 Usually requires a larger deposit than comparative mortgages (generally, the higher the deposit, the better the interest rates)
