Halifax Loan - Self Employed

Hello,

Has anybody got experience with Halifax loans and being self employed?

I do bank with them and did a soft check where it said I'm highly likely to be offered  the loan. It doesn't ask about work status until you officially apply. 

It's not for a massive amount, I've banked with them for years. Not sure if that makes any difference!

Thank you.

    Halifax’s eligibility criteria requires you to be in paid employment or have a regular income. If you are self-employed and your self-employment results in regular income then you’ve met that criterion.
