I am looking for 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 June time. My question is, will DB UK Bank even consider me for a mortgage before then? Is there such thing as a ‘contractor mortgage’?

I am finding the process of looking for a contractor mortgage very frustrating. There doesn't seem to be many lenders who really understand my situation and the challenges faced being a contractor. Are there any mortgage underwriters who apply a common sense to ensure getting a contractor mortgage is as straightforward as possible.

I understand that for some lenders ‘contractors’ can be a red flag to their lending decision. 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 DB UK Bank

My research online suggests that mortgage lenders mostly consider contractors as high risk applicants; so demand 3 years’ accounts to substantiate mortgage affordability. In my case as an engineering contractor, this evidence is unlikely to paint an accurate picture of my income potential. Will a broker specialising in contractor mortgages persuade lenders such as DB UK Bank to offer funds on the more realistic basis of my contracted rate.

Could a contractor mortgage with DB UK Bank be a better option for me than a standard DB UK Bank mortgage ?
