RELEVANT DOCUMENTS
Every accountant can provide the relevant documents that show your net pay and profits throughout the year. If there is an obvious decline at any time, lenders may not be willing to grant you a mortgage. With every business, however, profits are known to fluctuate. Considering this, lenders will tend to refer to an average of two-three year’s worth of accounts to help determine the right mortgage for company directors like yourself. Because of this, it is important that you have at least three years of trading experience.
When applying for a company director mortgage, it is crucial to also provide documents from HMRC. This will give lenders an insight into your tax returns. Many businesses will usually declare the lowest amount of net profit on their tax returns so they can pay as little tax as possible. This could affect your mortgage application which is why it is important to declare all your profits if you intend on applying for mortgages in the future.

After the application process, if you are successful in receiving a company director mortgage, then you will be given the usual rules of deposits and normal loan amounts will apply.
