However this is simply not true if you have the right paper work and can prove your income the process is pretty much the same for the self-employed as it is for the employed.\r\n<br><br>\r\nIn the past self-certification mortgages tended to be the go to product for the self-employed however these products have now been outlawed as they were being abused by both lenders and borrowers alike. These products enabled a borrower to apply for a mortgage without having to prove their income. They were originally aimed at a small minority of self-employed people but ended up being deliberately mis-sold and were subsequently banned.","section_style":"splash"},{"_id":"63b6c2eaa245fd52fc9eca8f","section_title":"What products are available to the self employed?","section_content":"The reality is that there is no such thing as a self-employed mortgage product.
