Broker help - self certification amongst other things!

Can anyine give me some advice? I am looking to purchase a house worth 295k, and require a mortgage of 265k. I don't want to sell my current home which is worth around 170k with a mortgage of around 98k on it. We need to remortgage current home to raise deposit for the new one I think. We have our own business and basically need to self certify because our wages on paper are around 7k per year each. We obv get dividends amongst other things from the business too.
What do you think/ Are we dreaming?!
Many thanks in advance

  • Dividends can be taken into account by lenders. These should be shown on your accounts. How many years accounts do you have?

    At £265k on £295 you would struggle to do it full status, let alone self cert:o

    You are looking at high LTVs

    Plus a LTB scenario (not BTL)

    And wages of £7k

    On that basis it is not going to happen

    Your dividends would need to be pretty good to support that loan amount.

    You would then need to find at least 15% deposit - more if possible.

    Then find a lender to "ignore" the property in the background

    And then you would need to speak to a whole of market broker to fit all the pieces of this jigsaw together, if at all possible
