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 Yorkshire Bank?

Going through the contractor mortgage process to move to a buy to let with a new lender. All paperwork completed and sent. Received a call from the lender to say they can't move ahead with process unless my current manager writes me a letter saying my contract will definitely be prolonged and when new end date will be. Any thoughts?

I am finding the process of trying to obtain 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.

As 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 Yorkshire Bank even grant mortgages to contactors ?
