We were first time buyers and he put us completely at ease and went the extra mile every time we had a question / needed some help.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  John provided a five star service from start to finish. The whole process was very slick and extremely professional. Obtaining our mortgage was not a straight forward request due to being a new build property but John advised on what information we would require and spoke with all the right people to get our mortgage over the line. Will be using him again in the future.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  Absolutely brilliant service from John from start to finish. As first-time buyers, the mortgage process could have been really stressful and confusing, but John made everything so straightforward and easy to understand.

He was always available to answer any questions we had, explained everything clearly, and kept us updated throughout the whole process. John worked hard to find us the right mortgage and has been incredibly helpful, professional and supportive every step of the way.

We genuinely couldn't have asked for a better mortgage advisor and would 100% recommend John to anyone looking for a mortgage. Thank you for all your help!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  We have known John since we bought our first rental in 2009 and he has guided and helped us all the way. He laid out a plan for us that this month will be fulfilled exactly as he said it would. He has never let us down and he is always there when we have needed him. Nothing is too much trouble. Great guy and a  true proffessional. Thanks John for everything. You are truly the best.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  We have used Johns services a few times now, when remortgaging. John is extremely knowledgeable and always strives to find the best deal that works for you. His communication is excellent, he’s very friendly and explains thoroughly the best way for you to go forwards and we would highly recommend his services.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  I honestly don’t know how I would have got through buying my first house without John.

From the very beginning, he helped us work out what we could afford and get our Agreement in Principle sorted, but his help went way beyond just arranging the mortgage. While we were viewing houses, he was always happy to give his thoughts on whether an asking price seemed sensible and what we might want to offer. His experience and knowledge were incredibly valuable when we were trying to navigate something we knew very little about.

Once we found our house, John made the whole process so much easier. He was incredibly quick to respond, explained everything clearly and was always happy to answer my many questions!

What really impressed me was how much he handled himself. He dealt directly with the estate agent, solicitors and lender, meaning we weren’t constantly stuck in the middle passing messages around. If an issue came up, he’d often just sort it in the background and let us know there was an issue but it's resolved, rather than adding to our stress.

John genuinely cares about his clients and it really shows. He’s friendly, incredibly knowledgeable and always made us feel like we were in safe hands.

I couldn’t recommend him highly enough. Five stars doesn’t really do justice to how much he helped us!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  As a first-time buyer, I couldn’t have asked for a better mortgage broker than John. From our very first conversation, he was incredibly friendly and immediately put me at ease, making what initially felt like a daunting process feel straightforward and manageable.

John’s communication was outstanding throughout. No question was ever too big or too small, and he always took the time to explain everything clearly and thoroughly. Thanks to his support, I was able to navigate the entire mortgage process with complete confidence. I never once felt stressed or under pressure, which made such a difference as a first-time buyer.

His knowledge and expertise are second to none, and he was able to secure me a fantastic mortgage deal. I genuinely felt that he had my best interests at heart every step of the way.

I can’t recommend John highly enough. If you’re looking for someone who is knowledgeable, approachable, and truly dedicated to helping their clients, he’s the person to go to. Thank you, John, for making such an important milestone such a positive experience!

Mortgages for small business owners

Running your own business should not stop you from buying a home. At Everest Mortgages, we specialise in mortgages for small business owners who want clear advice, fair options, and a smooth mortgage application process. If you are self employed, a company director, or running a limited company, we help you get a mortgage that fits your real income and plans.

We understand that business owners often face extra checks from lenders. Income can change year to year, tax efficiency matters, and paperwork is more detailed. Our role is to guide you through each step, explain what most lenders look for, and improve your chances of being accepted.

We search 1000's of mortgage deals across a large number of lenders, including...

Specialist mortgage advice for business owners

Many business owners assume getting a mortgage will be difficult. In reality, with the right preparation and an experienced mortgage broker, it makes sense and can be far more straightforward. We work with many lenders and specialist lenders who understand how self employed income works.

Whether you are a sole trader, limited company director, or considered self employed for tax purposes, we assess your financial circumstances properly. We look at taxable income, net profit, salary and dividends, retained profits, and future earnings to help you get a mortgage that works long term.

How lenders assess self employed income

Applying for a mortgage as a business owner is different from being employed. Lenders generally want to see reliable income and clear records before approving a mortgage application. To help you prepare, we guide you through what lenders usually require.

Before applying for a mortgage, we will talk you through the key areas lenders focus on, including:

Proof of income such as years accounts, company accounts, tax return records, or a self assessment tax return supported by a registered accountant
Income typically assessed over two or three years trading, including salary and dividends for limited company directors
Credit history checks including your credit report, good credit score, and evidence of a good credit history
Deposit requirements, where a larger deposit can improve chances of being accepted and access to different lenders
Affordability calculations based on monthly repayments, existing commitments, national insurance, and everyday banking

Once this is clear, we manage the mortgage application process for you. This reduces delays, avoids mistakes, and improves approval outcomes.

Mortgages for limited company directors and sole traders

Limited company directors and sole traders are often treated as self employed by most lenders. This means income is reviewed differently, especially where company profit and retained profits are involved. Many lenders only consider withdrawn income, while specialist lenders may include retained profits for a larger mortgage or higher maximum loan amount.

As an experienced mortgage broker, we know which mortgage lender is right for your structure. We help company directors, limited company owners, and sole traders understand their maximum loan, mortgage repayments, and flexible terms before house hunting begins. Our goal is always the right mortgage deal, not just any mortgage product.
