I'm in the process of arranging a mortgage with Contractor Financials, but they can only offer deals via Northern Rock and Clydesdale Bank.
Also, the deal they're offering me from Clydesdale has additional fees that aren't on their website. Contractor Financials say this is because they have different products for contractors...
So do I really need to take the "specialist contractor" route for a mortgage? I've been contracting for four years, and have 3 years of accounts. I tried going direct with my own bank - HSBC - and got nowhere. They offered me up to £100k...
I've seen people on here saying there's no need to use a broker, and others recommending them. In my experience, the deals are worse through a broker, but impossible otherwise. Can anyone clarify how I might get a comparable mortgage amount without a broker?
