i am currently employed and have a mortgage with halifax, 2 year fixed term. the fixed term is up early 2015. it is very likely though that in the next 3/4 months ill go from being fully employed to self employed (my own limited company).

how difficult would it be to remortgage? i would guess at the time of wanting to re-mortgage i would have a years worth of accounts.

thanks in advance.

There are companies that specialise in that sort of thing. Would the lack of accounts be your worry ?

Halifax are very contractor friendly. At the time of remortgage,if you are not looking to extend loan amount then they wont look at your finances

It will depend entirely on how you will be set up. If you set up as a Limited Company you will need two years of accounts if you want to move away from Halifax. If you just want a rate transfer with Halifax, that will be easy enough but their retention rates are pretty poor really.....
