Getting a mortgage when you’re an contractor isn’t easy. A lot of high street banks and other lenders will limit how much you can borrow or turn you down altogether simply because you’re a contractor.

This can be very frustrating, especially when you’re working alongside permanent staff who earn less than you and have a similar notice period to you, but who are able to get mortgages with no trouble at all.

So why is it so much harder to get the mortgage you need when you’re a well-paid contractor?

Well, if you’re like most contractors we speak to, then in order to work out what you earn per year, you probably take your day rate, multiply it by five days and then by 48 weeks to get your equivalent of an annual salary figure.

But most mortgage lenders don’t think that way. They will just look at your tax-efficient, but small, net salary. And so instead of seeing you as a high-earner with potentially a six-figure salary, they’ll see you as someone on a low income who could be out of a job at a moment’s notice.

But here’s the good news…

At Mortgage Broker Services, we’ve built relationships with lenders who understand how contractors work and how you get paid and who will treat you the same way they’d treat a permanent employee.

This means we can get you a mortgage based on your gross contract rate, allowing you to borrow way more than you’d get from a High Street bank. Plus, in most cases, you’ll be able to borrow up to 95% of the property value – just like a permanent employee could.

And we can do all this whether you work through your own company or an umbrella and regardless of whether your current contract is inside or outside IR35.

We can even help if you’ve just started a new contract, are coming to the end of your current one, or are brand new to the world of contracting.

To find out which mortgage offers you qualify for, fill in our one-minute enquiry form or call us on 0333 772 1551 to get straight through to a mortgage adviser (we don’t do call centres).

Save Time and Money

We’ve got access to 1,000s of different mortgages from over 70 lenders, including exclusive deals that the lenders don’t offer direct to the public. That means we’ve got the best possible chance of finding you a mortgage that will save you money.

And we’ll save you time as well because we know what each lender typically wants to see and will ensure you gather those documents together upfront. In most cases, we’ll just need your contract, proof of ID and some bank statements to get your mortgage approved.

Plus, the fact that we deal with Contractors day in and day out means that, unlike some other brokers, we’ll know right from the start which lender is most likely to accept you. So, we won’t waste time (or damage your credit score) by submitting applications to multiple lenders in the desperate hope of finding one who’ll say yes.

Flexible Appointments

If you go to your local bank you could be waiting weeks to get an appointment and, when you do get one, it’ll probably be at a time when you’re meant to be working.

Here at Mortgage Broker Services, we know that if you have to take time off to go to the bank or meet with a mortgage broker during the working day then you’re losing money.

That’s why we offer a choice of daytime or evening appointments every day of the week (including Sundays). So you can be sure that we’ll be able to find a convenient time to discuss your mortgage requirements and find you the right deal without it costing you lost hours on your timesheet.

Maximise your borrowing

We can get you a larger mortgage – one that’s based on your daily rate rather than on your company’s net profit figure or your own PAYE salary.

In other words, we can take your day rate, multiply it by the number of working days in the year, deduct a few weeks for holidays or gaps between contracts, and then present that figure to a lender as your “annual salary”. The lenders we work with will then typically look to lend you up to 5.5 this amount, just like they would if you were a permanent employee.

We can also arrange Contractor mortgages of up to 95% loan to value, meaning you won’t need a huge deposit if you’re a first-time buyer.

No Minimum Contract Length

Sometimes we hear from Contractors who think they won’t be able to get a mortgage because they are new to contracting or they don’t have long left until the end of their current contract.

Fortunately, we have access to specialist lenders who don’t mind how long you’ve been in your current contact or how long is left on it. So, whether you’ve just started a new contract, are coming to the end of your current one, or are brand new to the world of contracting we can still look to help you.

Errol was amazing and really helped guide us with obtaining a let to buy mortgage and a residential mortgage on our second home. He took the time to explain everything very clearly to us and was available whenever we needed to talk. We felt like we were in good hands throughout our mortgage application and we couldn’t have done it without him! We are over the moon and would definitely be recommending him to our friends and family and hopefully if we ever do need mortgage advice we definitely will be keeping in touch!

As a first time buyer I was really nervous and uncertain around the complicated process of sorting out a the best mortgage options. I did my own research initially using search engines and then contacted Errol to see if he could improve on the options I’d found. He certainly could, and not only that but he was super helpful and fast to respond every time I reached out. As I was buying during a real boom period I asked him for mortgage offers for multiple properties changing price / deposit amounts and shared ownership options, durations and he even managed to get me a mortgage in principle for a very complicated old building, having personally researched the rules around and the different parts of the property and return this to me within 48hrs which was very impressive. He was patient, informative and a calming influence. I don’t think I’d have moved forward to purchase without his support! Highly recommended.
