To mortgage specialists -5 years fixed term

[Mark McBurney@CMME]

Thank you everyone. The 2.99% is from Abby(Santander) as self-employed applicant instead of contractor. One problem is I got a year gap (2012-2013). Although I still withdrew same amount of salary and dividend, my company account showed the profit that year was next to nothing. Will that affect my application? My local adviser said it would not, but another contractor mortgage adviser I spoke to said it would affect my application and they could not get me anything on self-employed terms. Who shall I listen to?

Well worth a chat with a few brokers - us and one other for example have exclusive access to contractor criteria with Leeds Building Society, as an example, so there are differences between brokers.

Good luck!

Mark, exclusive access to contractor criteria with Leeds. You know this is a PILOT, not for public consumption. That means that it's not meant to be advertised or promoted anywhere. Well done mark!

Hi John,

We have the go ahead, and the other company in question mention this on their website also, so it isn't a trial and it certainly is for public consumption.

I hope you're well.

The go ahead for what? Be specific? And just because the other company mentioned it on their web site doesn't make them right either. It's a PILOT that's been running since August and you know that, so be mindful of what you say.

You've just made a very bold statement on this forum that "it isn't a trial and the contractor based underwriting policy is for public consumption". You better check that with Sat Singh (your MD). Because your absolutely wrong.

I challenge you to find an announcement from Leeds B.S stating that they are now offering mortgages based on contract rate alone? I guarantee you won't find one. Because it is a pilot in its very early stages.

I believe an apology is due.

Hi John,

Since you've PM'd me about this, I think we should probably leave this thread here, I'm not sure the rest of Contractor UK are that interested in this conversation.

Regards,

Mark.
