I had this before. If you change status, it resets the clock.
Most mortgage brokers should be able to sort this out. Contractor MOrtgages certainly did for me.

I will have to wait a full year to be a contractor to re-mortgage or opt to stay with my current lender, regardless of their rates.
Is anyone else in the same situation?
On the other hand, if you have been working on a more traditional consultancy basis and the new contract will be your first role with a daily or hourly rate then this will limit your options, but they key thing is that there are still options out there!
You need not sit on the variable rate for 12 months!

John Charcol know the market really well. I struggled to get a mortgage because I had too much in retained profit in my PSC, JC found three flexible lenders who were willing to look at the value of my contracts instead of the usual salary + dividend multiplier. They do charge a one-off fee for some of their services.

I would speak to someone who might understand contracting better - CMME or Freelancer Financials would probably be worth a call.

are you currently working through your own limited company and the proposed move is to an umbrella? I'm sorry I wasn't clear from your post.
