I have retained an IFA concerning my remortgage because I am on a fixed term contract of two 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 seeking a 5 year fixed rate deal. Property value 165K, I want to borrow £150,000. I bought the property three years ago for 138K and I currently owe 115k to Tandem Bank

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 95k contractor mortgage with a lender such as Tandem Bank?

Received a call from the lender to say they can't move ahead with application unless my current manager writes me a letter saying my contract will definitely get extended and when new end date will be. Any advice?
