I'm hoping to start my first contract soon but I'm also hoping to
move house in the coming months too.
I've found a broker who says that I can get a mortgage as a new contractor based on my solid permie IT experience, but says the lenders won't give me money while I'm under a probation period.
How common is it for an IT contract to have a probation period and what sort of lengths do they last? I thought this was a clause in permie contracts although a mate said he had a 6 month probation period when he did a 12 month fixed term contract job once...? Any advice much appreciated.
