Contractor Mortgages - What are they like...any good?

[IRMe]

I don't want to start a mortage application, just to get some information, like for example, which kind of interest rates vs. traditional hight street mortgages are we talking about.

Is it always like that? I just want to know the interest rate contractors are able to get nowadays and stuff like that. Aproximate figures.

If you're happy to do your own research then you can find a lot of the mortgage product details on the web without needing to go to the brokers. All you need to do is search for the intermediaries version of the mortgage company website e.g. intermediaries.virginmoney.com. TSB, Halifax, Clydesdale all have similar setups. Then just compare against their equivalent mortgages on the 'public' website.
