Opportunities in the UK Property market as a Company Director

Savvy company directors and self-employed people know that a property purchase represents a relatively secure and potentially profitable investment and should form an integral part of your financial and future planning.

It is likely that you enjoy a higher income than most – an attribute that can be put to good effect to raise more capital than was possible when you were working on a purely salaried basis.  Some prudent planning both in terms of the property you desire and the mortgage product you select should allow you to jump several rungs on the property ladder; even opening up the prospect of buying a second home or rental properties – forming a core of your financial planning for the future.

When the sun shines and your company is doing well you can also look to repay a substantial part of your loan back each year thus avoiding thousands of pounds of interest liabilities that would normally accrue over a 25+ year mortgage.

Potential Pitfalls  

We have noticed a trend in our dealings with the company director community; many directors find trying to secure a good sized mortgage a frustrating and time consuming experience.  High street banks and building societies tend to base their maximum lending on your salary – there’s the first pitfall for many dividend oriented directors!  Some director reimbursement strategies are based on a low salary and high dividends – perfect for qualifying for a measly house loan!  The cyclical nature of company trading that you know is a feature of your business will send the high street guys running – after all you may not get an renewal of that lucrative contract that you are enjoying right now; their wariness comes from a fundamental misunderstanding of what you do and the service you provide…. And the irony, you are considerably more employable than most!  … And here is the hidden gotcha – even after you have perused multiple lenders and you have finally found one that will work with you – they stump up an offer with high interest rates and inflexible terms… ouch.

Call in a Specialist!

We can arrange a mortgage for company directors and self employed people, even those with less that two years accounts & low profits.
