Can I get a mortgage as a contractor?

Yes, you can get a mortgage as a contractor! But it’ll be more difficult compared to someone who’s in full-time employment. For example, a mortgage lender might want you to provide  accounts for the last few years, and prove that you’ve got stable work for the future. 

In some cases, contractors don’t need to have three years’ worth of accounts and can even get approved for a mortgage based on their day-rate. You’ll just need to find a specialist mortgage lender that understands the nature of contract work, and is willing to review your application based upon the terms of your current contract.

And even if you’ve only just started contracting, and therefore have no accounts, you still have options that our Mortgage Experts can explore for you. Get in touch to find out your options.
