The Challenge

Our clients were looking to purchase a new residential property.

One client had recently moved from a salaried role (£200,000 per year) to become a partner in a new company, classifying him as self-employed.

Under standard lending rules, he would normally need one year of self-assessment accounts, and in many cases two years to secure a mortgage at a competitive rate.

Without this, mainstream lenders typically cannot offer loans based on self-employment income alone, creating a significant obstacle.

Our Approach

We took a personalised approach to present the client’s full financial position:

  • Analysed the client’s monthly draws from the company (£25,000 per month)
  • Considered the partner’s stable employed income as additional support
  • Prepared a clear case highlighting overall affordability and financial stability
  • Engaged directly with underwriters to explain the unique circumstances

The Solution

By presenting a complete and well-packaged case, we were able to secure a loan of £1,150,000 with 85% LTV with a mainstream lender, approved by exception despite the recent change to self-employment.

The clients were able to move forward with their home purchase without delay or compromise.

Why It Matters

Transitions from employment to self-employment don’t have to block home purchases.

With the right preparation and lender communication, it’s possible to access competitive mortgage terms even in non-standard circumstances.

I would highly recommend Amar Dhanota as a mortgage broker to anyone looking to purchase a property. Amar helped me through the process of buying my flat and was absolutely brilliant from start to finish.

What stood out most was her dedication — she stayed on my case for as long as it took, tirelessly searching to find the best possible deal for me. She never made me feel rushed or like just another client. Instead, she gave my situation the time and attention it deserved.

If you’re looking for a mortgage broker who genuinely goes the extra mile and puts your best interests first, look no further than Amar. I can’t thank her enough!

I cannot recommend Amar highly enough. From start to finish she has been an absolute star — always available on the phone, patient, calm and reassuring no matter how many questions I had. Her knowledge and guidance made a stressful process so much easier, and nothing was ever too big an ask.

What really stood out is how Amar went above and beyond her remit. Even once her part of the process was technically complete, she continued to check in, support me and smooth out other areas that weren’t even her responsibility. That level of care and dedication is rare and invaluable.

Thanks to Amar, what could have been overwhelming felt manageable and clear. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for a broker who genuinely has your back throughout the journey.

Amar always goes over and above to get the job done, and I come with many issues 😜 we spoke so much he must of thought he was a full-time employee of mine. (sorry) Next one will be simple 🫣😂 I have already recommended him and London FS- Property Finance to others, highly recommended and 5 star service. Thank you.

Amar, from London Finances Solutions has just helped me a second time with arranging my mortgage and was just as efficient as the first. She makes things as clear and easy as possible, always quick at responding to any questions and is very quick at finding the best deal to fit my needs and generally makes the whole process very smooth. I would highly recommend to anyone seeking mortgage advice and will certainly be returning in the future.

Want to thanks Amar (and LFS) for excellent service. He is master in his trade. He not only helped me through end to end journey of Mortgage but also have provided his valuable suggestion on aligned aspect in my house buying journey. Benefit of clients is always at centre of his heart. Although I have completed my purchase but think this good service relationship will go long way.

Thanks Amar for great help!

Excellent service from LFS – specifically Amar. As first time buyers, there where a lot of nerves and uncertainty – but this was all taken care of by Amar. She guided us along every step of the way and ensured that our application went through as smoothly as possible and in a timely manner.

What stood out was – nothing was ever ‘too much’ of a problem for Amar – rather it was ‘lets see how I can help’. Buying your first house can be really stressful but now we’re in , we’re looking back and thinking we couldn’t have done it without the support and professionalism from LFS.

Would highly recommend LFS to anyone. Thank you to the entire team.
