Mortgage rejection based on contract turned around?
Just got bad news that the underwriter for the mortgage I was looking at rejected my application because of some technicalities regarding my contract between inside and outside IR35, swithcing.

Disaster First Contract
Permanent staff are beyond frustrated, to the point of storming out of meeting because they know a train crash is coming. I had a lightbulb moment yesterday and just decided to treat it as a job and not take it personally as long as I do my work I have been hired for and deliver ahead of time.- Femster

Disaster First Contract
To be honest it is nearer £400p/d but maybe I didn't calculate it correctly. But speaking to accountant as advised by many it seems I would walk out with the same monthly salary with 2 and a half weeks of work. But then again I could be very wrong.- Femster

Disaster First Contract
Thanks jamesbrown I have accepted not every client will be great as you explained, being from a consultancy background you can imagine the kind of projects you get thrown on sometimes just to help out even if your skills do not match.

Everything seemed good and I had read through the job spec and it all matched with everything I had done throughout my career in a consultancy. Fast forward about 6 weeks later multiple issues: 1. the...- Femster

First time contractor - Decisions to make
Wouldn't this be the case at any point in time. I have been working in consultancy for 10 years and would have made the jump to contracting but was always afraid because of the reason you mentioned. But at some point didn't you just have to make the jump with the risk, I have seen people less...- Femster

This seems to be the consensus, even though it is a SC cleared role that they say will run for multiple project, it is not worth the risk. Thanks for all the advice.- Femster

First time contractor - Decisions to make
Thanks for all the replies. If they come back and agree the contract is outside IR35 would it still be deemed a bad time to leave my perm role? I was thinking of asking about expenses, is this frowned on after the interview stage has been passed?- Femster

First time contractor - Decisions to make
Hi, I am new to this forum and contracting as I have never done it before. I have always been a permanent employee but always worked with Consultancies so I figured why not branch out. The perfect role popped up out of the blue and I went for the interview and have received an offer. I cannot...- Femster
