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.  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!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  When I arrived in the UK, I had only been here for 3 months. I was on a spouse visa, had very little UK employment history, and other mortgage advisers told us that getting a mortgage would be extremely difficult or even impossible. From the first conversation, John gave us confidence. He explained exactly what we needed to do and told us that the most important thing was getting my first few payslips and building my employment record. He had a clear plan from the start. What I liked most was how honest and straightforward he was. He always answered our questions, kept us updated, and made the whole process easy to understand. Nothing ever felt too much trouble. John didn't just help us get a mortgage. He advised us on properties, helped us understand what was a good purchase, guided us on what offer to make, and even helped us find solicitors. It felt like he genuinely cared about helping us buy the right home, not just getting the mortgage approved. In less than 4 months, John achieved what two other mortgage advisers told us was impossible. We now have a mortgage offer and are buying our first home together. The whole experience was smooth, professional and surprisingly stress-free. John was always there when we needed advice and support. If you are a first-time buyer, new to the UK, or have a complicated situation, I highly recommend speaking to John before anyone else. Thank you, John. You have helped us achieve something we never thought would be possible, and we will always be grateful.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  Outstanding Mortgage Broker – Truly Exceptional Service My husband and I cannot recommend John Everest at Everest Mortgage Services highly enough. As first-time buyers, we were told by two other mortgage advisers that getting a mortgage would be virtually impossible due to our circumstances. My husband, Aba, had only been in the UK for five months on a spouse visa, had a very limited UK credit history, and was still building his employment record. We were repeatedly told that lenders would not consider our application. From our very first conversation, John was different. Rather than focusing on the obstacles, he focused on finding solutions. He took the time to understand our situation, explain every stage of the process, and gave us honest, realistic advice from day one. What seemed impossible suddenly felt achievable. In less than four months, John successfully secured our mortgage offer. Throughout the entire journey, he was professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and incredibly reassuring. Every question was answered promptly, every concern was dealt with calmly, and we always felt that he genuinely cared about helping us achieve our goal. What impressed us most was that John didn't just act as a mortgage broker. He became a trusted adviser and mentor throughout the whole process. He guided us on property choices, helped us understand market values, advised on offer strategies, and ensured we didn't make costly mistakes as first-time buyers. His experience and insight were invaluable. Buying a home is often described as one of the most stressful experiences in life, but John made it the complete opposite. It was the most smooth, stress-free, and well-managed process we could have hoped for. We always felt supported, informed, and confident in the decisions we were making. Thanks to John's hard work, dedication, and expertise, my husband and I are now able to purchase our first home together. We genuinely believe this would not have happened without him. If you are a first-time buyer, have a complex case, are a foreign national, or have been told "no" elsewhere, speak to John before giving up. His knowledge, persistence, and commitment to his clients are second to none. Thank you, John. You have helped us achieve a dream we thought was out of reach, and we will always be grateful. 🏡⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Valeria

Self-employed mortgages

There are millions of self-employed workers in the UK, and it’s easy to see why. Being self-employed offers flexibility, independence and the ability to be your own boss. But, when it comes to getting a mortgage, being self-employed can make the process slightly more complicated. That doesn’t mean getting a self-employed mortgage is an impossible task, not if you work with an expert self-employed mortgage broker.

At Everest Mortgages, we specialise in helping self-employed professionals to secure the right mortgage in a straightforward, simple and stress-free way.

How does a self-employed mortgage work?

A self-employed mortgage works the same way as a standard mortgage, regardless of whether you’re a first time buyer or someone who’s adding to an existing property portfolio. There are various self-employed mortgages available – ranging from first time buyer mortgages for residential homes to buy-to-let mortgages for investments – and you’ll even have the choice between a fixed rate mortgage and a flexible mortgage.

The main difference for self-employed applicants comes when you’re trying to prove your income. Unlike employees who receive regular payslips from a steady employer and can easily show that they earn the same amount each month, you’re likely to have variable income, multiple revenue streams or profits drawn differently through salaries and dividends. This means lenders need more detailed evidence to assess your affordability, as they can’t risk basing their decision on a particularly lucrative month.

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

Self employed mortgages vs. employed mortgages

Though the mortgage itself is the same as for an employed borrower, the application process is where things differ. Lenders are typically more careful because self-employed income can fluctuate and be slightly more difficult to verify. Self-employment covers a wide range of working arrangements including being a business owner, sole trader, contractor, freelancer or limited company director, and the category you fall into will determine the type of evidence lenders want.

Proof of Income – 12 to 36 months’ accounts, SA302 tax returns, bank statements or accountant certificates.
Minimum Trading History – Usually 2 to 3 years.
Income Verification – Accounts, dividends, salary or current year projections.

Who can get a self-employed mortgage?

Being self-employed doesn’t mean you can’t get a mortgage, but it does mean you’ll need to focus your attention on specialist self-employed mortgages and working with an experienced broker. To determine if you’re in with a chance of being approved, ensure the following:

You will need to have at least 12 months of accounts or trading history to get a self-employed mortgage.
You will need to provide evidence of your income, which can be in the form of accounts, bank statements, dividends, wage slips or SA302s.
You will need to make sure your accounts are up to date, as lenders will want accurate and recent information to base their decision on.
You will need to prove your income, whether that’s in the form of salary or dividends, and show that it’s consistent.
Unless you’re looking at no deposit mortgages, you will need to have funds readily available to put down as a deposit.

The challenges of getting a mortgage when you work for yourself

Securing a mortgage when you’re self-employed is possible, but you might run into a roadblock or two along the way, all of which Everest Mortgages can help you to overcome.

Irregular or variable income

Many self-employed people earn fluctuating monthly income and, with lenders preferring stability, it’s beneficial to provide consistent profits or earnings trends over 2 or 3 years. Though your monthly income might change, you’ll need to show that you earn enough on average, over an extended period of time.

Multiple income streams

If you’re paid a salary, dividends or have other sources of business income, lenders will calculate affordability based on each income type. This can be more complicated than a straightforward employee salary that’s a fixed amount and paid into an account once a month.

Limited trading history

If you’re a relatively new self-employed worker, limited trading history might hold you back.

Lenders usually prefer at least two years of trading history, but three years is best. If your business is younger, we can help you to find a specialist lender with flexible options.

Complex business structures

If you have multiple businesses or partnerships, you might need to provide separate accounts, tax returns and projections for each entity. This can be complex and time-consuming in terms of paperwork.

Credit history

Outstanding debts, CCJs or defaults can affect borrowing potential, just as they can an employed applicant. It’s a good idea to review your credit report and resolve issues before applying for a mortgage.

Give yourself the best shot of securing a self-employed mortgage

Here are a few things you can do to increase the chances of a successful application:

Prepare Your Accounts – Make sure your trading history, accounts and tax returns are up to date. Lenders need to be able to base their decision on recent, accurate information.
Review Your Credit Report – Check for errors and resolve any outstanding issues. Otherwise, you might find yourself being turned down when you shouldn’t have been.
Reduce Debts – Clear as much personal and business debt as possible to show you’re in a financially healthy, stable position.
Save a Deposit – A larger deposit often improves your chances of better rates, so save as much as you can before applying.
Enlist a Mortgage Specialist – A mortgage broker experienced with self-employed applicants can match you with the most suitable lenders and guide you through documentation. This is where we come in.

Why work with a self-employed mortgage broker

Navigating self-employed mortgages can be time-consuming and complex, not to mention daunting if you’re buying for the first time. By working with a mortgage broker, you benefit from:

Expert knowledge of lenders who specialise in self-employed mortgages.
Professional advice tailored to your business structure and income type.
Help with maximising how much you can borrow and accessing the best mortgage rates available.

At Everest Mortgages, we understand the challenges that self-employment brings when it comes to buying a property, which is why we work to simplify the mortgage process. You can focus on growing your business, keeping on top of projects and finding new contracts, and we’ll focus on securing the right mortgage for your needs.

Outstanding Mortgage Broker – Truly Exceptional Service My husband and I cannot recommend John Everest at Everest Mortgage Services highly enough. As first-time buyers, we were told by two other mortgage advisers that getting a mortgage would be virtually impossible due to our circumstances. My husband, Aba, had only been in the UK for five months on a spouse visa, had a very limited UK credit history, and was still building his employment record. We were repeatedly told that lenders would not consider our application. From our very first conversation, John was different. Rather than focusing on the obstacles, he focused on finding solutions. He took the time to understand our situation, explain every stage of the process, and gave us honest, realistic advice from day one. What seemed impossible suddenly felt achievable. In less than four months, John successfully secured our mortgage offer. Throughout the entire journey, he was professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and incredibly reassuring. Every question was answered promptly, every concern was dealt with calmly, and we always felt that he genuinely cared about helping us achieve our goal. What impressed us most was that John didn't just act as a mortgage broker. He became a trusted adviser and mentor throughout the whole process. He guided us on property choices, helped us understand market values, advised on offer strategies, and ensured we didn't make costly mistakes as first-time buyers. His experience and insight were invaluable. Buying a home is often described as one of the most stressful experiences in life, but John made it the complete opposite. It was the most smooth, stress-free, and well-managed process we could have hoped for. We always felt supported, informed, and confident in the decisions we were making. Thanks to John's hard work, dedication, and expertise, my husband and I are now able to purchase our first home together. We genuinely believe this would not have happened without him. If you are a first-time buyer, have a complex case, are a foreign national, or have been told "no" elsewhere, speak to John before giving up. His knowledge, persistence, and commitment to his clients are second to none. Thank you, John. You have helped us achieve a dream we thought was out of reach, and we will always be grateful. 🏡⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Valeria
