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

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 125k contractor mortgage with a lender such as Whistletree?

Myself and my husband are currently about to apply for a mortgage with Whistletree. Next month I commence working as a contractor. My husband is full time employed and so does have a six figure income. Is it going to be a case of just getting a non-contractor mortgage with Whistletree in my husband’s name only?

I am well aware that the days of self-certification contractor mortgages are long gone. Are there any lenders that take the same approach to mortgages for contractors as they do for standard home loan applications. I am particularly interested in a mortgage deal with Whistletree

I don't know if Whistletree are in the business of issuing contractor mortgages but in the event that they do how does a Whistletree contractor mortgage differ from a standard home loan?
