You are employed so shouldn't be any more of a problem than anyone else who is employed. Everything looks OK on the face of what you've put.

Mortgage application working for umbrella company

Hi,

I'm an IT contractor, I've been in the industry for around 4 years and recently made the move to contracting. I'm 4 months into my first contract and looking to buy a house, I've found a house have deposit etc but I'm worried about making a formal offer as I don't want to let the seller down by being knocked back for a mortgage.

I've spoken to an advisor who thinks I should be fine, as my payslip doesn't indicate I'm a contractor and the lenders don't ask the specific question...

I'm wondering if anyone else who is working for an umbrella company has had issues sourcing a lender for a mortgage? The majority of my pay is commission based but my advisor said that shouldn't be an issue as it's consistent across all pay slips so they will just take an average. My worry is that if they dive deeper into the Umbrella company then my application could get rejected - it will be a joint application, my partner is self employed but has 2+ years of successful accounts etc so don't see any issues there.

Any advice would be appreciated.
