The wider assessment
Keep accounting facts and mortgage advice connected
Accounts, tax calculations and explanations of unusual trading years can support the lender's review. We agree what is needed before requesting extra work. I handle the mortgage advice; you retain responsibility for accounting and tax advice.
Do not alter accounting records to fit a mortgage application. Income must be accurate, evidenced and sustainable.
