I am seeking some mortgage advice. I am currently on a grad scheme, One year into a 2 contract. the chances of me being moved onto an employed basis are slim. So I suppose my query is, will Lloyds 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 Lloyds?

As contractor looking for a mortgage with Lloyds 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 bank. All paperwork completed and sent. Received communication from the lender to say they can't move forward with process unless my current manager issues a letter saying my contract will definitely be prolonged and when new end date will be. Any thoughts?

Were I to tell Lloyds that I’m contracting, will they charge me a higher rate on my mortgage?
