Originally posted by redgiant View PostInteresting. I went to my current mortgage lender (Halifax) the other week as my fix term deal is ending and they say the way they work it out for IT contractors is - current day rate x 365 x 5 ... that's way more than I would ever want to borrow! All they needed was a copy of LTd. company accounts from last year apparently.
What are these banks smoking?
Maybe the bank knows more about the quality of the output from redgiant and MarillionFan than we do and they make a correct risk assessment and base their loan offers on it.Originally posted by MarillionFan View PostThat's good.
Barclays is something like 'Yep, you put £200k and we'll lend you £10k & that'll cost you£5k arrangement'
