    I wish I could find a contract that paid enough in 2 months to buy a house.

      And on top of that being a new contractor you will have nothing to loan so wouldn't bother again. Pushing the edge without a warchest or any contract experience under your belt is suicide IMO. You loan yourself the money, can't get another contract, can't pay it back, can't pay your VAT, spent CT money, lose house.... You get the picture....
      I don't understand. Yes, i am a new contractor; however, i get paid really well. According to HMRC, if you pay pack the Director Loan before the accounting end period, you don't have to pay any taxes which is pretty good. I do understand if my contract is not extended, i am then screwed; however, my family is able to pay back the company loan anytime. It's not a problem. I will not lose the house....however, i will get additional profit since i can rent it out.

          You are a sockie or you are deluded or you are failing at running a business. One of those three.

            You have to have money in the business to lend it to yourself. You won't earn enough in 2 months to reach the divi limit never mind enough for a loan.

            How will you not lose the house when your loan is paid back to the company but you have no income to afford the mortgage for 6 months plus?

            No one is this stupid. Sockie.

              I doubt it's very large.

                depends on teh rate of course, but I'm sure there are places out there for less than the million quid a month you bring in. :O)

                  If you get paid really well, then save the money and use that as a deposit.

                  If you mean that your company invoices a high rate, then look at the legal ways of extracting money from the business.

                  If your family can pay back the loan for you, why don't you just borrow from them in the short term and use that as a deposit?

                    Unfortunately, i don't have any family who has that kind of cash. Anyway, I bought the house with my dividend this April or after my post. Now, my client has extended my contact for another great year. I just purchase another one. I haven't paid the deposit yet but will probably do the director loan or wait until the new tax year.
