Previously on "Breaking news: mortgages for all professional contractors"
Halifax has proven one of the lenders more open to dealing with the self-employed, and has up until now offered a mortgage product for IT contractors. They are now opening the same deal up to all freelancers and contractors of all flavours, provided they have a day rate of £300 or more.
Your right, Halifax has been offering this to IT Contractors for several years, you'd be surprised though how many IT Contractors don't know this? Unless, you live in the forums!!!!!!!!!!!!
What's really annoying for IT Contractors, is that if they go direct to the branches, the advisers don't know about the IT Contractor policy that they support. They try and assess them as self-employed (3 years accounts). Which is why a lot of IT Contractors turn to mortgage brokers to handle their application.
