Hello there,

Are you working as self-employed or through a company? If through a company, do you plan to buy the car through it or in your own name?

Hi Rodney, I am indeed self-employed yes. My main workplace is at home but I will be travelling to events and other places of work more frequently now.

Hi Rodney, I, unfortunately, can't afford that extra charge

Can you please explain your second comment? I've not asked you to pay anything.

As self-employed if you get a car, that would be seen as a financial commitment on your hence will reduce the amount you can borrow for a mortgage.

You therefore have to check the cost of property you would like to buy and determine if you can still meet your mortgage requirements in addition to paying for the car.

You may be able to do both but until the figures are run through a mortgage broker's system, you won't be certain.

I would suggest you see a broker to help you determine this.
