Self-Employed and Contractor Buyers in St Johns
The specialist lender income assessment gap is as relevant in St Johns as anywhere in the Woking market. A limited company director with retained profit who is offered £300,000 by a standard bank may access £380,000–£550,000 or beyond through a specialist lender using retained profit assessment. Day rate contractors working in the Woking area benefit from annualised rate assessment: £500/day produces a £575,000 maximum at specialist lenders versus approximately £56,000 from a standard bank salary approach. We confirm the right methodology and lender before any credit search.
