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High-street banks can be rigid, their criteria can be outdated, and the wrong advice can lead to a declined application based on your employment structure.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”

  • Banks may undervalue your property or take a cautious view on available equity, limiting how much you can release.

  • Even when current payments are manageable, lenders apply strict stress tests that can restrict borrowing for improvements.

  • Some lenders are less flexible about borrowing for home improvements and apply tighter criteria than necessary.

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.
