I have been dealing with an IFA concerning my remortgage because I am on a fixed term contract of 3 years (I am a post doc researcher, it is the nature of my work that we have fixed term contracts). My contract started date last year. I am looking for a 5 year fixed rate deal. Property worth £325k, I want to borrow £150,000. I bought the property 3 years ago for 138K and I currently owe 115k to Coutts Finance

For three years now I have been a self employed contractor. Mortgage options are being looked at but it's a minefield.

Going through the contractor mortgage process to move to a buy to let with a new bank. All paperwork completed and sent. Received communication from the lender to say they can't move ahead with application unless my current manager writes me a letter confirming that my contract will definitely get extended and when new end date will be. Any advice?
