I am looking for some mortgage advice. I am currently on a grad scheme, 12 months into a two contract. However, I'm unlikely to be moved onto a permanent contract until around June time. My query is, will Magellan Homeloans even consider me for a mortgage before then? Is there such thing as a ‘contractor mortgage’?

What criteria does a mortgage lender (for example Magellan Homeloans) adopt to categorise someone as a contractor or self-employed. For instance does one have to own more than a particular percentage of a company?

As contractor looking for a mortgage with Magellan Homeloans will they want to assess my experience, my history of contracting, the length of my current contract and the likelihood of it being renewed? If so I will start to get the paperwork together.

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

I am finding the process of trying to obtain a contractor mortgage extremely frustrating. I can't seem to find any lenders who really understand my situation and the challenges faced being a contractor.
