    Help!! Mortgage Probs

    OK guys, here's the low down

    I started contracting in November (with Parasol and switched to GiantGroup in March).

    I would appear that nobody is willing to give me a mortgage of 90% as I have less than a years contracting experience!!!

    I am really finding the whole system very discriminating against the self employed (including those who, like myself, have NEVER been out of work!!!!)

    any suggestions or stories of past experience much appreciated.

      Oh Dear. A disguised employee wants a mortgage eh? I think the government should BAN mortgages. And contractors. And disguised employees (oh they already have with something called IR35).

        very little choice

        dude

        it's a case of current house sold and contracts exchanged, house we were buying has fallen through!! which means finding a new house and mortgage to go with it!! and finding a house with stables for horses and room for children, dogs, cats etc is a lot harder than it seems!!!

              dont take it badly corn pone, the b@stards take the p1ss out of everyone.
              Most contactors that I know dont have a mortgage, they work like **** for a few years then buy a place. Hence the p1ss - take.

                > this was a serious question!

                You should have directed your question to threaded then.

                  "I started contracting in November" && "have NEVER been out of work!!!!" = silly question = silly answers

                  You may never have been out of work, but that doesn't mean anything as you've only been contracting (self-emplyed) for 6 months and thats the bit the banks care about. Should have applied before you went freelance.

                    it all sounds very 'eau jolly hockey sticks, right ho!'

                    and all financed on the never never

                    nice !

                    as the right honorable gentleman pointed out, a contractor shouldn't need a mortgage and certainly not a 90% one
