Ltd and Self employed.

My partner is self employed and is due to file his tax return in April. He will then have 7 years worth of returns in a sole trading company. He opened a Ltd. business in January and was going to close the sole trading company down in Jan but we were advised against this for our mortgage. So I guess my question is how complicated has he now made this for us? We wanted to start the process in April for the mortgage but I am now worried he will not have a full years of Ltd trading accounts? Will this create issues for us?

Thanks in advance.

    This shouldn't be a problem the lender will just wanted to see your partners last 2 or 3 tax calculations and corresponding tax overviews.

    You may find little appetite from lenders in the short term to underwrite mortgage business.

    depends if main income is from sole trader or limited company,  if limited company then you will have a problem, with not even a years accounts
