Self Employed Home Loans: Less than 1 year
Being self employed for less than 1 year can make a home loan application with a traditional bank impossible. There are however some alternative lenders that will be happy to look at your application if you meet their requirements.
We can help get you a mortgage when self employed for under 12 months.
You should expect to need a 20% deposit minimum in all cases, you will also be subject to higher-than-normal interest rates and fees. If you're looking for a home loan when employed for only 6 months, you are best to use alternative lenders as a stepping stone to a competitive home loan product with a major bank. Once approved for a 6 month self employed mortgage, you are best to look at refinancing as soon as is reasonable: usually once you have been self employed for over 2 years.

FAQ about our self employed home loan less than 1 year:
Why is it so difficult to get a home loan when self employed for under 12 months?
Lenders like to feel safe about their investment. When you've only been self employed for less than 1 year, you are still high risk. Many new businesses fail in the first 12 months and lenders don't want to be involved if that happens.
Do you charge for your service?
No. The lender pays us a commission for a successful application so you needn't pay us anything.
Can you do after-hours appointments?
Yes! After-hours and weekend appointments are welcomed, although your finance application will generally only be processed on week days.
