Contractor Friendly Mortgage Lenders

If you are a contractor or are self-employed, securing a mortgage can be a challenge. Before the credit crunch things were more straightforward with self-certifying mortgages allowing those with a fairly new self-employed status to get on the property ladder. As the recession took over, the market changed dramatically and the self-certified era came to an end.

Interest-only mortgages

Interest-only mortgages also swiftly came to an end which meant contractors or the self-employed had no choice but to submit evidence of historical income. As the numbers of self-employed and contractor workers has increased the banks have had to think again. Now thankfully things have improved and the number of affordable contractor mortgages has increased. There are a number of contractor friendly lenders on the market where affordability is based on your contract rate alone, not on your accounts. As a result of basing your suitability for a mortgage on your annual contractor income, you will find there is a higher opportunity of securing the loan you need, as either a first-time buyer or as a seasoned home owner who wants to move up the property ladder.
