I have been dealing with an IFA concerning my remortgage because I have just won a fixed term contract of four years (I am a post doc researcher, it is the nature of my work that we have fixed term contracts). My contract begin date last year. I am seeking a three year fixed rate deal. Property value £200,000, I want to borrow 132K. I bought the property three years ago for £220,500 and I currently owe 165k to Aviva Equity Release

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 Aviva Equity Release?

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

I am finding the process of looking for a contractor mortgage very frustrating. I can't seem to find any lenders who really understand my situation and the challenges faced being a contractor. Are there any mortgage underwriters who apply a common sense to ensure getting a contractor mortgage is as straightforward as possible.

Were I to reveal to Aviva Equity Release that I’m contracting, will they charge me a higher rate on my home loan?
