Mortgages for contractors

I went with Freelancer Financials - go via the Contractor Mortgages link over in the sidebar and I believe CUK gets a small cut, which helps keep the forum up and running (occasionally)
My position was that I was over 60 and had never previously had a mortgage, so I suspected I might have a bit of a rough ride going it alone. They sorted me out with an agreement in principle from the Halifax (that was considerably higher than I needed) within a few days. I missed out on the place I was looking at just then and didn't find anywhere else I liked for a month or two, but once I'd had an offer accepted, they got the confirmation of the mortgage within five days, which is Halifax's standard processing time. Just in time, as the confirmation came through the day before Liz Truss destroyed the economy!
All in all, I found them to be excellent, making a process I'd expected to be extremely stressful run very smoothly indeed. Well worth the approx. £600 they charged me back then; they also get a commission of some sort from the lender, but that's none of my business so I don't care about thatComment
