The required number of years for a self employed mortgage can vary depending on the lender’s criteria. However, most lenders typically seek a track record of at least two to three years of financial records, such as tax returns or company accounts.
This documentation is used to evaluate your income stability and determine your eligibility for a mortgage. While some lenders may accept just one year of accounts, it’s essential to note that this could limit your mortgage options and potentially impact the terms of the loan.
Lenders assess the income of self-employed individuals differently compared to salaried employees. They usually consider your average annual income over a specific period, often spanning the past two to three years.
During this appointment, your mortgage advisor in Leeds will look at your asessment to work out your maximum affordability.

It’s common that every high street mortgage lender will use their in-house credit scoring system when deciding if customers are eligible to take out a mortgage with them. The credit scoring system is usually based on the mortgage lender’s history and experience as a mortgage lender within the industry.
Lenders will look at historical data of mortgage repayment statistics as well as any information on repossession and other common patterns so they can determine what would be high-risk when lending. By doing this, the lender can save time and money, however, can become a setback within a self employed applicants journey to their dream home.
Over time, it might have been common for lenders to find self employed applicants fall into arrears compared to anyone who is a regular employee. A factor to highlight is that employed applicants would usually not have a hard time obtaining a mortgage as self employed applicants would.
You may be aware that most high street lenders in the industry will have very strict lending criteria with a number of them wanting to see your profits increasing over at least 3 years worth of accounts and some wanting a three year average.
It’s always best to be prepared with a good few of years of this evidence even if some lenders don’t require three years. Furthermore, this may increase your chances of getting a mortgage.
Some of our customer get in touch with us after approaching their bank directly looking to obtain a mortgage but unfortunately have found it a challenging experience. This could be due to the following reasons:
Approaching different lenders is something we wouldn’t recommend, especially if you don’t have a lot of knowledge of their lending criteria. By doing this, you could have a detrimental on your credit which could become a risk in you not being able to obtain a mortgage at all.
