    This will having a material bearing on your mortgage application.

    I have provided them with the last 3 years SA302's (latest year is significantly higher than the previous 2. Would the fact I am self employed delay the application being aproved or declined?

    Is there any further evidence they could possibly request?

    Self employed earnings are more often or not averaged out over a period of time. Rather than taking the last year which is normally the best.
  • We were told by our broker that both halifax and natwest would take my latest year as the figure for caluclating loan amount, is this not correct?
