Self employed and mortgages.

[Richhhhshel]

Forgive me if this is in the wrong place.

 

 

I have been self employed for around 3 years and want to get a mortgage with my fiancée. I have usually used an accountant but can do the self-assesment myself, will doing it myself and not having an accountant do it make any difference to a mortgage application?

 

Thanks in advance.

I think it is more dependent now on if your application is with or without accounts. ?

I would say no.

 

However, as an alternative view - a good accountant may pay for themselves by saving you tax or presenting the figures and thus making you application all the more attractive.
