Read time: 1 minute

We’ve increased affordability options for limited company directors.

What’s changing?  

Our underwriters can now use the client’s latest years’ salary and either an average of the last two years’ net profit before tax or the latest year if lower. This is also available for one year self-employed clients.

Working in partnership to support your self-employed clients 

With over four million self-employed individuals in the UK, each with their own complex needs. There is a significant opportunity for brokers to support them, regardless of their home ownership goals.

We’re committed to working in partnership with you to improve our policy and propositions to help you best support your clients.

  • Maximum 80% LTV for newly self-employed clients with only one year’s full accounts 
  • Loans available up to £1.5 million
