For arguments sake, imagine I was a MATHEMATCIAL GENIUS, stay-at-home-dad, who had TWO clients, both paying me WELL OVER £1000/day for pretty much doing sod all, how much could I borrow then?Originally posted by Martin@AS Financial View PostThis will depend on what your deposit is but more importantly, what is affordable to you on a monthly basis after calculating all essential outgoings.
As a contractor, you have 2 options. Firstly you can either work off your limited company salary and dividend figures or net profit and salary depending on which bank you approach. The second option is to work off your daily rate. Lenders that are sympathetic to contractors will take your daily rate - multiply that by a 5 for a 5 day week and then multiply that by 48 to assume you give yourself 4 weeks off a year.
