Your payslips don’t always tell the full story.

One of the biggest frustrations contractors face is being assessed using criteria designed for traditional employees.

That's where contract-based underwriting changes the conversation.

Instead of focusing purely on salary and dividends, specialist lenders can assess affordability using your contract income and day rate.

The result?

A mortgage assessment that better reflects how contractors actually earn.

If you've ever been told your borrowing potential is lower than expected, it may be worth exploring whether a contractor-friendly lender would view your income differently.

🏡 First-time buyer? Or are you a or freelancer? This one's for you.

Getting your first mortgage when your income doesn't fit the traditional employed model can feel like an uphill battle.

Lenders seem to make it harder. Affordability checks don't reflect what you actually earn. And nobody tells you that every failed application makes the next one more difficult.

We feel your frustration. It even frustrates us that mainstream lenders don't see the potential in your high contract day rate just because the way you work doesn't fit their traditional lending model.

Our new guide breaks down all the steps can take to give their application the biggest chance for success in plain English:

✅ how deposits can affect your eventual interest rate,
✅ how affordability assessments work with the right lender,
✅ why your credit history matters,
✅ managing new and existing debt,
✅ stress testing against future interest rates,
✅ property types, standard and non-standard,
✅ and why choosing the right lender from the start is so important.

No matter how you work, whether you're just starting to think about buying or you've already hit a wall with a lender, this one well worth a read 👇

💼 Limited company director struggling to get the mortgage you know you deserve?

Here's the problem in plain English: you pay yourself a tax-efficient salary, take dividends, and sensibly keep retained profits inside your business. Smart financially – but traditional lenders only see your personal drawings and conclude you can afford far less than you actually can.

The money you've left in your company? Invisible to them.

The good news is that specialist lenders can include your share of the company's net profit in their affordability calculation. For many directors, this makes a very significant difference to how much they can borrow, incurring no higher a rate, and with no extra deposit required.

We've written a detailed guide covering exactly how it works, who it helps most, and what you need to do to access it 👇
