2.Many people don't realise, but you don't actually have to be a contractor in order to get a contractor mortgage. Unbeknown to many people, the term is quite loose, and many factors can be taken into consideration before a package is approved. Depending on circumstances, a contractor mortgage option is available to anyone and can be tailored to suit specific needs and situations, which in many instances proves to be a lifeline for people. The majority of the time however, only contractors apply for contractor mortgages and many factors have to be taken into account in order to get you the best deal with the minimum amount of stress as possible. Some factors that lenders will take into consideration that you should know about are; the number of years that the contractor has been working on a self employed basis and the profits and contract rate relevant to the time of application. They will also be interested in the duration of the contract, so it is wise to make sure you have all the relevant documentation to make your application accurate and worthwhile. It may seem like quite a lot of assessments and checks to go through, but it is wise to remember that the whole process is just as much about you as it is the lender. You need to know that the package and mortgage that you require and are applying for is the right one for you and this way, with so many guidelines in place, you will know if it is the right avenue for you to be going down.
3.A contractor mortgage is not only there for contractors, like its name suggests, it is open to anyone and doesn't have a set criteria. People are often misled by the term 'contractor mortgage' and believe it to be a product that is only available to contractors themselves, this is untrue and many people could be missing out on a valuable product. Obviously there are many segments to mortgage packages as with anything else, but in the most basic terms, a contractor mortgage is a 'prime rate' mortgage product with bespoke underwriting. One of the advantages of this is that any mortgage application is considered on individual merits and will be reviewed accordingly with each important factor and circumstance being taken into consideration. Ultimately however, when it comes to contractor mortgages, or indeed any type of mortgage, it pays to do your research into the product and what you will be getting out of it in the long term. Before making your application, look into factors such as profits and duration of contracts because these are a couple of things that lenders will ultimately be interested in. Also note that contractor mortgages don't fall under self-certification. There are many warnings against settling for self-cert mortgages as they have high interest rates and can also have expensive charges. Another important factor to take into consideration is also the people dealing with your request. In some instances, non-specialist brokers don't understand the requirements of a specific mortgage product and can put together the wrong package and send you to a lender that won't be the most ideal for your circumstances. So to make sure you get the best chance of success, find someone that is specialised in the type of mortgage that you want.
4. Regardless of whether it is a contractor's mortgage or a normal mortgage package, it is always best to try and nail a deal first time. Being rejected always has an adverse effect on your credit score and now, in these tough economic times, it has never been more vital to get it right first time. There are plenty of ways to achieve this and a lot of the time it comes down to using your own initiative. One of the basic things to do is research and gather together all the relevant documentation that will make the process a lot smoother and less hassle for all parties. Remember that lenders are interested in profits as well as duration of contracts and the timeline that the contractor has been in work for. All these factors could affect your application, so preparation is key. Another thing to remember when weighing up the pros and cons of a mortgage for contractors is to avoid going to a high street lender if at all possible. This is because they tend not to be as familiar in that area and are more specifically trained for general mortgages. If you want the process to be as straight forward as possible, you should really approach lenders in the know and use specialists that know the current market and can offer you help in the best possible way. It is common knowledge that contractor's mortgages aren't the easiest to come by and in some instances many banks do not have mortgage products available to the self employed because they are deemed to be too much of a risk. This isn't the greatest scenario to be in and in a way puts pressure on you to find a company that is not only willing to provide a mortgage package, but also offer competitive interest rates too.
5. Many people may have heard the term 'mortgage for contractors' but in actual fact don't know the ins and outs and the differing criteria that is in place in comparison to other general mortgage packages. A contractor mortgage is a specialist product that differs from all over mortgage options and provides many different advantages and disadvantages to what you normally see in other mortgage policies. One of the major downsides to a contractor mortgage however is the fact that it is one of the hardest products to get hold of. It is commonly known within the sector that no other group struggles to get hold of a good deal quite like contractors. In certain instances some banks do not have mortgage products available to the self employed because they are seen as too much of a risk. This isn't great news, especially when you take into account the current economic situation meaning that people from all walks of life are struggling to get the mortgage deal that they require too. It also means that because there are fewer companies to choose from, it will make it even harder to find a deal with competitive rates. However, it isn't all doom and gloom in the world of contractor mortgages and there are some positives to be taken from this kind of product. An advantage is that with a contractor mortgage you could earn more money in direct contrast to people on fixed incomes. This, in the most basic terms, means that you could start higher on the property ladder because of the money you have to your name at a certain time. This would mean that once you are approved, you could borrow larger sums of cash.
6. Depending on who you talk to, you will hear many tales about the difficulty in getting a contractor mortgage and how time-consuming the application can be. It is fair to say that it won't be the easiest of things to do in your lifetime and many contractors that have been through the same situation before, probably won't want to repeat it again. The biggest problem that contractors face is the lack of faith that banks have in the self employed. They are seen by many companies as unstable and high risk and are often rejected because their profit and income are hard to determine from day to day and month to month. However, if you do make an appointment with the bank to discuss a contractor mortgage, you will be required to show three years' worth of accounts to highlight that you are a healthy risk to take a chance on and are financially viable for both you and the lender. If you can prove that you are worth the gamble and have had a steady stream of income for a set period, that will be stumbling block number one completed. However, there will still be a long way to go. Because you are still seen as a risk you will have higher than normal fees and rates which is why you should approach a specialist lender to deal with you application and guide you through the process one step at a time. If you do this, you may save yourself a lot of stress and ultimately, some money.
Hope you're well.

Hi *********,
Hope you're well.
I've attached one of the contractor mortgage articles that i've just finished now and i'm currently in the middle of another. All the rest will be with you by tomorrow lunchtime.

The term 'contractor mortgage' is a phrase that often recalls memories of stress and untold pressure for many people - and for good reason. It is widely known that applying for any mortgage, regardless of whether it is a mortgage for a contractor or a general option, puts heaps of pressure on a person and takes plenty of time and patience to get sorted. In terms of contractor mortgages however, the stress and frustration can reach boiling point, which is why you need to follow some basic guidelines and tips if you want to get anywhere fast. It is well known that quite a few lenders are limiting the amount of mortgages for contractors, but this doesn't have to be a bad thing. There are still good deals to be had and, providing you know how to look and spot a good deal - you could reap the rewards of a really good product. Generally, there can be some unclear aspects when it comes to certain contractor mortgage deals, so the best thing to do is to research and get all the facts in place before going any further. If you want to make the situation as easy and as stress-free as possible, have all your documentation with you and provide the lender with an up-to-date financial breakdown of your situation. A number of lenders will accept three years of business accounts as evidence of your earnings, but not all lenders will allow this - so check before you make an appointment. If however, for whatever reason, you cannot produce business accounts, some firms will also accept a letter from an account, but again, it would be wise to check this before making any big moves as this is quite a rare situation.
Hope you're well.
