Going through the contractor mortgage process to move to a buy to let with a new mortgage company. All documents done and sent. Received a call from the lender to say they can't move ahead with process unless my current manager issues a letter saying my contract will definitely be prolonged and when new end date will be. Any thoughts?

Are there any mortgage underwriters who apply a common sense to ensure getting a contractor mortgage is as straightforward as possible.

Is it correct that that as contractor I would require a significant deposit up to as much as 50 per cent to qualify for a mortgage with Aldermore Bank.
