I have retained a mortgage adviser regarding my remortgage because I am on a fixed term contract of two years (on a grad scheme). My contract started date this year. I am seeking a three year fixed rate mortgage. Property worth £200,000, I want to borrow £150,000. I bought the property four years ago for £157,000 and I currently owe 115k to Masthaven Bank

in the throws of proceeding through the contractor mortgage process to move to a buy to let with a new bank. All paperwork completed and submitted. Received a call from the lender to say they can't move forward with process unless my current manager issues a letter confirming that my contract will definitely be prolonged and when new end date will be. Any advice?

My wife and I are soon to submit for our first mortgage application with Masthaven Bank. Later this year I start working as a contractor. My wife is time employed as a surgeon and does have a healthy income. Is it going to be a case of just getting a non-contractor mortgage with Masthaven Bank in my wife’s sole name?

Notwithstanding that I am a contractor (in the Oil & Gas industry) do I really need to have three years of accounts in order to apply for a mortgage with lend? Do Masthaven Bank even grant mortgages to contactors ?

If I inform Masthaven Bank that I’m contracting, are they likely to charge me a higher rate on my mortgage?
