    Mortgages 101

    With the new rules in places, for the first time in my life, I have found interest in mortgages.
    Assuming a generous London daily rate of 500GBP/pd what sort of mortgage does that entitle me to?

    Entitles you to nothing. You may be eligible for something though.

      This is going to end in tears.

        Yes, he has already used '/' in addition to 'p', where one of them is clearly superfluous. I wouldn't lend money to someone like that.

          What's your deposit?

          Have you done a budget planner?

            And how often do you intend to bleed your radiators?

              This will depend on what your deposit is but more importantly, what is affordable to you on a monthly basis after calculating all essential outgoings.

              As a contractor, you have 2 options. Firstly you can either work off your limited company salary and dividend figures or net profit and salary depending on which bank you approach. The second option is to work off your daily rate. Lenders that are sympathetic to contractors will take your daily rate - multiply that by a 5 for a 5 day week and then multiply that by 48 to assume you give yourself 4 weeks off a year.

                Ah, well. The 'London' daily rate [per day] would make all the difference.
                Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.
