What Type of Self-Certified Mortgages Are Available?

The choice of self-certified mortgages is getting wider all the time, and self-certifiers now have almost the same range of choices as full status mortgage holders (those who provide complete proof of income).

Examples of types of self-certified mortgages include:

Another advantage of self-certified mortgages is that it is sometimes easier than usual to get a portable mortgage – one that can be moved from one property to another.

This is very useful if you are thinking of buying a house to do up, before selling it on and buying another.

Just as with all mortgages, there are a number of areas to check before you sign:

  • Speed of approval (some lenders can take several weeks)
  • Portability
  • Exactly what information the lender requires about your income and status
  • What the minimum deposit is (usually 10% or more)
  • Flexibility – can you overpay or take payment holidays?

A good independent broker can advise you on these areas, and make sure you understand the details of each policy.


Aren't Self-Certified Mortgage Interest Rates Higher?

Some lenders consider self-certification mortgages to be a slightly higher risk than full status mortgages, although there is precious little reason for this: Recent statistics showed that the number of repossessions on self-certified mortgages is no higher than for other types of mortgage.

There are a few differences, however:

  • Interest rates are very competitive on self-cert mortgages, but the best deals are harder to find than with mainstream mortgages.
  • Many specialist self-certification lenders will only deal with approved independent brokers, not direct with you.
  • The most competitive deals are often not available on the high street.
  • Even if you have a bad credit rating, competitive self-certified mortgages are still available through brokers.
