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 Atom Bank?

in the throws of proceeding 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 forward with process unless my current manager writes me a letter confirming that my contract will definitely get extended and when new end date will be. Any advice?

I am well aware that the days of self-certification contractor mortgages are a thing of the past. 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 Atom Bank

As a contractor (in the Oil & Gas industry) do I really need to produce at least six months of both business and personal bank statements as part of the vetting process for Atom Bank.I am not convinced that my broker is correct.

My research online suggests that mortgage lenders generally consider contractors as high risk applicants; so require 3 years’ accounts to validate mortgage affordability. In my case as an IT contractor, this evidence is unlikely to reflect an accurate picture of my income potential. Will a contractor-focused mortgage broker remove the hassle by making use of the expertise and contacts they have built up.
