    A lender should lend a multiple of your profit before Taxation. Your daily income as mentioned earlier by you is not relevant.

    The market is very tight, you have a dodgy credit file, you are self employed. You need to see a broker. Full stop! Going alone you will be declined and that will damage your credit file even further.

    In your case you need to worry to be able to get ANY type of mortgage, not the rate. Your rate will be higher anyway because of your credit file and the fact that you bring in very little savings.

    Dont waste your time looking for deals online you cannot have. Brokers have specialist sourcing software that shows all 30,000 plus deals available and will filter out those you cannot have......

    Brokers speak to lenders to find out if they can submit your case to them, speak to the underwriters to promote your case and why they should lend to you......

    And the lenders that would look at you can only be accessed by brokers anyway as they do not deal directly with the public.......

    That is what we do in a tiny nutshell.

    I have one 95% lender that accepts 6 months business figures, but your credit file will need to be on the clean side.

    Why is there such a big gap between getting your accounts prepared? (sort of question that will be asked)
    I am an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA). The comments I make are just my opinion and are for discussion purposes only. They are not financial advice and you should not treat them as such. If you feel an area discussed may be relevant to you, then please seek advice from an Independent Financial Adviser local to you.
