Any thoughts?

Myself and my fiance are currently about to apply for our first mortgage with Danske Bank. However, after studying, I've just this month started working as a contractor, although I'm yet to register etc with HMRC. My fiance is full time employed by the NHS as a doctor, and so does have a healthy salaryfor us to put forward. I was hoping to get some advice on how my contractor status will affect us getting an application approved please?
