Hello everybody
I have been following this forum for a while and it has always been of great help.
I was intending to buy my first house. Key facts:
- I have been contracting for 4 months, first time. I used to be a permie.
- The idea is to buy my first property after 6 months, once my contract is renewed, with a property value of circa 200K
- Deposit: 35K
I contacted contractor mortgages made easy and, although I received a good feedback, it seems that I am not eligible. Lenders require a minimum of 12 months contracting. The company I work for is relocating and want me to continue with them so it all seems ok, I was planning to buy a first property near the new location as I have been renting for far too long.
Does anyone have any other companies I could talk to? Or any other recommendations?
I could rent for 6 more months and built up a bigger deposit with views of buying after 12 months, however my preference was not to rent again...
Thanks
