Umbrellas generally don't cause too much trouble, but I know ltd can be an issue. In the case of having to use ltd paye and divs, the more info the better. A mate of mine didn't have too many hassles when he supplied his company contracts showing his daily rates to back up the income he was taking from the company.

I went through Contractor Money. All they required was a copy of my current contract to secure a mortgage with Abbey. That was 2 years ago. Things may have changed though.

I need to know if getting paid by means of a Umbrella is a better idea simply because you get monthly pay slips you can use to proof your income. Anybody out there that successfully applied for a mortgage from a high street using pay slips from an Umbrella?
I want to borrow £275k on a house that costs £325k
I chatted to the mortgage arranger and said I thought there might be a problem, and she replied that these days there are so many people using MSC's for payroll that it is not novel or unusual anymore, and that most instituitions were not frightened by it anymore.
I wouldn't worry about it.
