Do You Feel Stuck as a Renter? Buying Your First Home Could Be Easier Than You Think

Why Getting Declined Isn't Always the End of the Story

There's a myth that follows self-employed people around, that getting a mortgage is somehow out of reach. That lenders won't take you seriously. That without a payslip, you don't stand a chance.

When most people plan to buy a home, they focus on one number - the deposit. Save enough for that, and the rest will follow. But the deposit is just the beginning.

Most people have banked in the same place for years. So when a mortgage comes up, it feels natural to start there. But it doesn't guarantee you the best deal.

A lot of people put off buying a home because they think their credit isn't good enough. But that assumption stops a lot of people from finding out what's actually possible.
