What Is A Self-Certification Mortgage?

Historically, people who were unable to provide evidence of all their income have often found it difficult to get appropriate mortgages:

They were offered mortgages that were too small
They were refused completely

Self-certification mortgages provide a solution to this problem for many people whose full income cannot be guaranteed or documented.

Although self cert mortgages, as they are known, are often associated with self-employed people, in fact they are available to people from all walks of life, regardless of their employment status.

Self-certification mortgages are just like regular mortgages except for one thing:

You do not have to prove your income

All you have to do is provide a signed declaration of your income and your ability to afford the mortgage you are applying for:

Your accounts will not be checked
You will not have to prove your financial or employment status
The only checks will be standard credit checks

Aren't Self-Certified Mortgages Only For the Self-Employed?

No. It's a common misconception that self-certified mortgages are only for the self-employed.

In fact, they are available to anyone who cannot or does not wish to prove their full income, but would like to be able to borrow an amount based on that income.

A huge range of people are eligible for self-certification mortgages. Here are a few examples:

Employed people with more than one income – e.g. a part-time business, or several part-time jobs
People with income from investments or pensions
Seasonal workers
Self-employed
Freelancers and Contractors of any kind
Company directors who are unsalaried
Workers who are paid on commission only
Workers whose annual bonus is a large part of their income
Temp or agency staff, whose income varies and cannot be predicted

Self-certified mortgages are extremely flexible and simply require you to decide how much you can afford to pay each month and how much you earn, in total, each year.
