Hello
I have been contracting again since January 2013. Unfortunately, my last gig came to end a couple of weeks ago, so I am on the bench.
I am selling my house and last week I put an offer on another house, which was accepted, then I went looking for mortgage. I was caught off guard when the mortgage consultants / advisors (a couple of the high street lenders, a contractor mortgage specialist company, a few IFAs) told me that I need a current income in order to prove to the mortgage lender that I can qualify.

Has an contractor on the bench managed to get a mortgage?
PS: The answer is yes. Currently, I am urgently looking for my next gig. I am sending emails to recruitment agents and ex co-workers, calling out on my network, doing linked-in mails on my connection just to secure the next contract gig as soon as possible.
