I have been dealing with a broker concerning my remortgage because I have just won a fixed term contract of four years (a finacial contractor). My contract begin date last year. I am looking for a five year fixed rate mortgage. Property worth £325k, I want to borrow £150,000. I bought the property three years ago for 138K and I currently owe 165k to Danske Bank

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

My existing mortgage lender had given us consent to let. My situation changed last year, I started my own company and started working as a contractor. Are you able to recommend a lender who specialises in contractor mortgages?

Is it true that Danske Bank quote higher interest rates when it comes to mortgages for contractors?

I am lead to believe that banks and building societies mostly view contractors as high risk applicants; so demand 3 years’ accounts to substantiate mortgage affordability. In my case as an engineering contractor, this evidence is unlikely to paint an accurate picture of my income potential. Will a contractor-focused mortgage broker utilise bespoke underwriting with lenders such as Danske Bank.
