Self employed with bad credit mortgage solutions even for people with 1 years accounts:
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.
The good news is at Niche Advice we specialise in getting Self employed with bad credit mortgage applicants with bad credit. I personally have helped many clients overcome the challenges of getting a mortgage, even though there has been past credit problems, and am more than happy to speak to prospective clients who may have already been rejected down the high Street.
