If you are Self employed with a bad credit mortgage products are going to difficult to obtain and the chances are you have already tried and been declined by the Lenders with a high street presence. Bad credit mortgages can be classed as many different things: it could be a few simple missed payments that are relatively recent; or more serious missed payments on secured loan; or mortgages right the way through to defaults and county court judgements (ccjs).
Another challenge with a Self employed with bad credit mortgage is the fact that many high street lenders will need a least 2 to 3 years account figures, and will generally take the average of your earnings, which means if you’ve had a bad year in that period it could come and affect your mortgage, even though your business is now booming.
