Confusing criteria and a lack of clarity over what types of self-employed evidence mortgage lenders require are just two of the challenges brokers face when advising their self-employed borrowers.

But with the return of self-employed borrower numbers to near pre-pandemic levels, according to Newcastle for Intermediaries, with more complex income structures than before, it’s more important than ever that brokers have access to the right support.

That’s the focus of episode three of The Partnership Panel with Newcastle for Intermediaries.

Hosted by freelance journalist Samantha Partington, Newcastle for Intermediaries’ Francesco Di Pietro, head of intermediary mortgages, and Charlotte Raw, head of mortgage lending, along with their guest Toni Smith, network distribution director at Sesame, discuss what support is available for broking self-employed business.

Catch up on episode one, which centres on first-time buyers’ changing needs, and episode two, where panellists discuss the possible changes to stress tests this year and how older borrowers can face just as many affordability challenges as first-time buyers.

And don’t forget to tune in to the final episode on large loan lending.
