Designed for self-employed preparation

Self-employed applicants are often asked to explain income across completed periods and provide consistent supporting records. Mortgage Readiness brings the information you already maintain in LedgerlyPro into a clearer preparation checklist.

Generic income-multiple illustrations are shown as examples only. They are not borrowing limits and do not reproduce any lender's decision model.

Organise self-employed mortgage documents and income evidence

Keep completed accounts, tax calculations, income evidence, bank statements, deposit records and identification in a structured preparation list. You can see what is present, what still needs review and which figures are actual or projected.

LedgerlyPro supports preparation before a conversation with an FCA-authorised mortgage adviser; it does not assess creditworthiness or choose a mortgage product.

What this means inside LedgerlyPro

Use your bookkeeping records to organise completed-year profits, current-year progress, deposit goals and supporting documents. The workspace highlights missing preparation items and keeps generic illustrations separate from actual evidence.
