Lenders who assess affordability differently and look beyond the usual thresholds.

Questions
Frequently asked.
What counts as a difficult mortgage?
Anything outside typical lending rules, such as irregular self-employed income, non-standard properties or poor credit. Lenders often need more documents or a specialist product.
Can I get a mortgage if I'm self-employed?
Yes. You'll usually need one to two years' accounts, SA302 tax calculations or bank statements to show steady income. We know which lenders suit your situation.
Which properties are harder to mortgage?
Non-standard construction such as timber frame or concrete, listed buildings, and flats above shops can need specialist lenders. We know who lends on them.
Will I need a bigger deposit?
Often. 20 to 40% is common for complex cases, but it depends on your circumstances.
