As far as I know from my experience, if you want to get a mortgage as an employee PAYE you have to have passed your probation period. If there is no probation period then that is day 1.
If you have a contract in hand then I have been told by contractor mortgage specialist brokers that is sufficient to get a mortgate through the specialist broker only, but if you have trading history and accounts then you might be able to get direct.

Just to echo the advice above too - having multiple contracts does not mean you're outside of IR35. Each engagement is looked at on an individual basis, and it's the theoretical contract between you and the end client in each case that matters.

You 'may' avoid detection due to the business tests but in this case you are clearly a disguised employee.
You did get your contract checked by a specialist didn't you?

If they are your client, then you have two options - umbrella or Ltd.
Given that neither you nor your employer have grasped this fundamental difference, I would say PAYE is your only sensible option.

I'm starting my next role shortly which is another 1 year contract. The employer has given me the option of being paid on a PAYE basis or on a day rate so I've got three options: remain with the umbrella, start an LTD or go PAYE.
LTD is not really an option for you. There are some savings running a LTD inside IR35 but not much I believe.

If getting a mortgage in <12 months is your main priority, then go PAYE.

I'm hoping to get a mortgage in the next 12 months.
- What's the likelihood of getting a mortgage if I go day rate and set up as an LTD?
- Would it be better for me to remain with the umbrella company as an 'employee'?
- Would it be better for me to be a proper employee on PAYE?
Any tips or advice much appreciated.
To answer your questions:
- You will be able to get a mortgage if you set up as a Ltd Co, you wont need any years accounts as you have been contracting previously for 1 year
- It would not really matter if you remained with the Umbrella Company as an employee but depends on how you are remunerated by the Umbrella Company. If you find a lot of your pay is made up of bonuses, commission, expenses, holiday pay or overtime then most lenders wont use all of this income as they wont class it as guaranteed. This is where using the day rate on your contract may help as the Umbrella Company is pretty much ignored
- Being a proper employee on PAYE may give you a couple more options yes but the difference in rate you would get on a fixed term contract against a day rate contract is not that significant and you may find that being a day rate contractor and the tax advatntages you would get from that would actually outweight the slight increase in the cost of the mortgage on a day rate.
