Getting a home loan when you're self employed

How do lenders assess self-employed applicants?
One of the key things to understand is that lenders often take a more conservative view of your income when you're self employed. They may average your earnings over two years or consider your taxable income after deductions, which can sometimes understate your actual borrowing power.
This is why it's so important to work closely with a Mortgage Broker, like Fen Barraclough, who can help you through the process. Fen understands how to present your financials in the best light and will match you with lenders who are flexible and experienced with self-employed borrowers.
