NEED A MORTGAGE AS A CONTRACTOR?
Whether you are a career contractor or just starting your first assignment, securing a mortgage isn’t always straightforward.
High-street banks can be rigid, their criteria can be outdated, and the wrong advice can lead to a declined application based on your employment structure.
Common reasons contractors struggle to get a mortgage:
Low salary/dividend figures
Gaps between contracts
Limited trading history
New to contracting
WHICH LENDER CRITERIA DO YOU FIT?
Every lender uses different criteria for contracting. We navigate the market to find the one that matches your specific situation:
First-time contractors
Contracts not yet started
Gaps in contract history
Daily rate-based lending
Fixed-term professionals
Low years of accounts
THERE ARE BETTER OPTIONS
A mortgage should be based on your true earning potential, not just the "tax-efficient" salary you pay yourself.
With the right lender, you can use your gross daily rate to prove affordability, often allowing you to borrow significantly more than a standard employee.

WHY THE BANKS SAY “NO”
-
Lenders look for a steady work history; significant gaps between contracts can suggest your income is too volatile for long-term repayments.
-
Banks often require at least six months remaining on your current contract to ensure you can meet the initial mortgage phases.
-
Using limited companies to minimize salary can lower your "official" income, making you fail standard affordability tests despite high turnover.
SPEAK TO AN EXPERT TODAY
-
A previous decline doesn’t mean there are no options. It usually means the lender wasn’t right for your situation.
-
No. An initial conversation and assessment won’t affect your credit file.
-
That depends on your situation, but we focus on clear answers and efficient progress from the start.
-
This is not a problem at all. Our role is to explain things clearly, without jargon, so you always know what’s happening.
-
We assess your situation, explore suitable lenders, and guide you through the process — helping you avoid common pitfalls along the way.
-
We will only supply exactly what the lender asks to avoid delaying the process. We also keep minimum documents needed for our internal compliance.
-
That’s our job. We compare this for you and check what lenders are available, so you can make the right choice without having to do it yourself.
