DOCUMENTATION OPTIONS

Pick the evidence. We'll pick the lender.

Full-doc

2 years of personal & business returns + notices of assessment

"Widest choice of lenders and the sharpest pricing."

Alt-doc (1 year)

Most recent year's return

"Good middle ground when last year tells the true story."

Alt-doc (BAS)

6–12 months of BAS

"Uses turnover to evidence income when returns lag reality."

Alt-doc (bank statements)

3–6 months of business bank statements

"Shows real cash flow, assessed by specialist lenders."

Accountant's letter

Income declared by your accountant

"Accepted by some lenders in defined situations."

Availability depends on lender criteria and your circumstances — 'low doc' never means 'no checks'.

WHAT LENDERS LOOK AT

The five things that decide it.

  1. Time trading

    Two years is the classic bar; under that, options narrow but exist.

  2. Income evidence

    Which documents, how recent, how consistent.

  3. Deposit and equity

    More equity forgives more paperwork.

  4. Credit conduct

    Clean statements and no dishonours carry real weight.

  5. The story

    A one-off dip with a reason reads very differently from a trend. We make sure it's told.
