Whether you’re self-employed, a contractor or freelancer, our range of mortgages are designed to work for you.
Mortgages shouldn’t be complicated just because you’re self-employed.
For example, we don't place restrictions on professions so you could be a builder, croupier, start-up entrepreneur or a dentist. We go out of way to make things as easy as possible so your mortgage adviser can get you the mortgage you need.
As one of the UK’s leading specialist mortgage lenders, we’ve always seen things differently and don’t believe in the "one size fits all" approach of many high street lenders.
That’s why our lending criteria are designed to flex with your individual circumstances and we use human underwriters to assess your application rather than relying on automated credit scoring. With a wide range of Kensington mortgages to choose from, your adviser can select the one that's the best fit for you.
The main difference between a self-employed mortgage and a standard mortgage is the documents you’ll need to provide to prove your income. As you might not have payslips, we’ll need to see certain documents that show you can afford the mortgage that you’re applying for.
You'll need to provide some documents so that we can verify your income. This will help us check that you can afford the mortgage that you’re applying for.
The documents we’ll need may differ depending on if you’re a sole trader, contractor or limited company director.
For instance, for most self-employed applicants, we’ll need to see your latest SA302 form and tax year overview.
Your mortgage adviser will tell you what documents we’ll need to see when they submit a full mortgage application.
As our mortgages are arranged through mortgage advisers, you‘ll need to speak to an adviser about our products. They’ll be able to give you advice and help you find the mortgage that may be suitable for your circumstances.
If you don’t have a mortgage adviser, we’ve teamed up with the experts at Like Mortgage Advice who can offer you FEE FREE advice – both before and during the mortgage application process.
As our preferred mortgage adviser, they have a deep understanding of our products and will be able to advise you on which Kensington mortgage may best suit your needs.
