Contractor Mortgages
Mortgage lenders have different lending criteria for people who are contractors. For example, if you are registered as self employed, some will view you this way. Others can use your contract day rate income, potentially increasing the amount you can borrow.
Professional Contractor Mortgages are a type of mortgage specifically designed to help professional contractors meet their financial needs. Professional contractors, or freelancers, work independently and typically do not have the same benefits that employees with contracted jobs enjoy.
