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.

My existing mortgage lender had given us consent to let. My situation changed last year, I started my own company and started working as a contractor. Are you able to recommend a lender who specialises in contractor mortgages?
