I’m in a bit of an onerous situation in as much as I and my partner are both self-employed (contractors) without any great accounts to show, although things are on the up I hope for this to change shortly. Basically my question for you is how hard would it be to get a 75k contractor mortgage with a lender such as Metro Bank?
What criteria does a mortgage lender (for example Metro Bank) use to categorise someone as a contractor or self-employed. For instance does one have to own more than a particular percentage of a company?
As contractor looking for a mortgage with Metro Bank will they want to assess my experience, my history of contracting, the length of my current contract and the likelihood of it being renewed? If so I will start to get the paperwork together.
Myself and my fiance are currently about to apply for our first mortgage with Metro Bank. However, after studying, I've just this month started working as a contractor, although I'm yet to register etc with HMRC. My fiance is full time employed as an accountant, and so does have a good salaryfor us to put forward. I was hoping to get some advice on how my contractor status will affect us getting an application approved please?
Notwithstanding that I am a contractor (IT consultant) do I really need to have three years of accounts in order to apply for a mortgage with lend? Do Metro Bank even grant mortgages to contactors ?
