We speak to plenty of customers on a regular basis, who have perhaps found it quite challenging to approach their bank directly for a mortgage in Derby. Some of the reasons we hear for this include, but are not limited to;
It’s always worth remembering not to approach too many lenders by yourself, as being declined multiple times can harm your credit score and even stop you getting a mortgage altogether. Book a free mortgage appointment and we will make sure you are matched up to the most suitable mortgage lenders criteria.
Most high street mortgage lenders will have their own in-house credit scoring policies when deciding on who can have a mortgage. These credit scoring policies tend to be based on the mortgage lenders own experience with mortgage applicants over their own tenure.
During their checks, they will have a look at previous mortgage repayment statistics, any historical data on repossession and other common patterns in order to determine the common denominators that are considered to be a high risk. This will save the lenders time and money, but leaves a lot of self-employed mortgage applicants without a leg to stand on.
Previously you could definitely have made a strong case for the argument that lenders were experiencing high numbers of self-employed mortgage applicants falling into arrears. On the other hand, their self-employed applicants probably also had (and still do) a trickier time applying for that mortgage than other customers.
If you’ve been doing some of your own research, you’ll probably be aware that high street lenders tend to have very strict lending criteria. Many of those mortgage lenders want to see your profits increasing over three years accounts minimum, with some basing their work off a three year average.
Whilst this doesn’t apply to every mortgage lender out there (with some only requiring one years of accounts), it is always recommended that you have more than just the one year to go off, as that will increase your mortgage options.
