You'll need an accountant, somebody who will or does do your books. Will need to provide a minimum of six months last work and have a good deposit on the property you wish to purchase or the price range you wish to invest in. Get a good mortgage broker - some specialise in obtaining mortgages for those that are self employed. I know of one, can pm details if you wish. They get their fee from the mortgage lender once everything has gone through with a particular property as oppose to some who want upfront payment from you directly.

Best advice above, speak to your accoutnant to get a broker sorted out.

youre in shit. worlds of fucking pain.

Just got my mortgage confirmed, was surprisingly simple and hassle free

my 2nd go was extremely easy, still no idea why turned down 1st time. irritating cos didnt have time to go back in for an interest only mortgage, so have to pay capital off too.

because for the sake of paying off a drop in the ocean, id rather have more cash in my pocket until im earning more.

so you had offer accepted on a place?

Keep hassling them and ask the seller to do the same from their end. It's worth it.

need some advice please, would really appreciate some input here. know very little about mortgages.

hoping to buy a new build 2 bed in london, guess it will cost 300 - 400. will be going on it with my old man. I have fuck all equity and probably couldn't mortgage it on my own unless it was shared ownership which it won't be. Any ideas roughly how much monthly repayment would be on a mortgage say for 390? and even though my old man will be fronting deposit, and mortgage will be in his name is there any thing i can do as a 1st time buyer to get any discounts of some type? aware the holiday on stamp duty for 1st time buyers has now ended.

cheers

1800 would be all good.
