As the title says really...Contractor money made easy = 795; freelancer financials=495; contractor money/financials and all the different trading names of it are fee free. Is it a case of you get what you pay for? All seem to be offering same rate with Halifax. Used CF in past but there were so many clerical errors and didn't keep us informed along the way...just wondering if using them again is worth the stress of saving a days wages!! Any other recommendations are greatly received...

We're using Freelancer Financials who don't charge a fee for CUK members, well, they haven't charged us anyway.
And even if they did charge, I wouldn't mind. They have been brilliant and and I can't sing their praises highly enough.Bazza gets caught

That doesn't mean I turn down free money!!
In the grand scheme of things, it's no big deal - as long as they manage to sort the mortgage in the 28 days between exchange and completion, I'll be happy.Comment

I have to say, they have been really brilliant with us - our formal offer came in no time at all and it's our choice not to complete until this time next month but everything is running really smoothly, touch wood it stays that way!Originally posted by TheFaQQer View Post

Thank you for the tip Cailin-which lender have they recommended for you?
My husband went contractor route just under 2 years ago. Have to say its made us even tighter with money!!! He has had one day off sick in 2 years and about 5 days holiday...everything now is compared to "how many hours/days would he have to work to pay off x/y/z!!" Mind u if it wasn't for him being a contractor, we'd never have been able to start looking for a bigger home let alone buying it!Comment

I'm also currently going through the mortgage process with Freelancer Financials - pretty pleased with the service so far, they've got us a mortgage at Halifax based on my daily rate (although my Mrs is a well paid permy, which helps).Comment
