    Mortgage Broker Recommendations?

    Can anyone recommend a mortgage company/broker they have used previously for a Contractor?

    I've searched the forums but can't find much.

    Freelancer Financials have done 3 for me and are just renewing one of my BTLs.

    I'm surprised you can't find much though. Mortgages are discussed regularly as you'd expect.

    Best way to search the forums is to use the Google method.

    Type in something like the below in to Google and mess around with the keywords

    Contractor mortgage site:forums.contractoruk.com

      Whomever you use - make sure it's a fixed rate. For as long as is possible.

        You might want to also try something like "site:contractoruk.com/forums/ mortgage" for more recent posts, as the site structure has changed.

          For more unequivocal financial insight like this please refer to to the AMD thread.

            Not advice, just my opinion.

            For clarification speak to any old codger about mortgage rates in the late 80's, early 90's. NorthenLad, tell them all about it...

              WamwiqS - the site moved from forums.contractoruk.com to www.contractoruk.com/forums a while back, and although there are redirects in place, I’m not sure if Google applies such considerations to “site:”-qualified searches.

                  Mate, I’ll do it for nothing. Contractors is bread and butter stuff.

                    I used a financial advisor since I was already in the swing of other things with him so made sense for him to pick that up too. If you want his contact details (based in the North West) I'd be happy to pass them to you.

                    That said, it's no longer an entirely different kettle of fish to a mortgage app for someone employed permanently. My understanding is that contractors used to have to jump through hoops to get a mortgage, it's not the case anymore. Have you tried yourself?
