in the throws of proceeding through the contractor mortgage process to move to a buy to let with a new bank. All paperwork completed and sent. Received communication from the lender to say they can't move ahead with process unless my current manager writes me a letter saying my contract will definitely get extended and when new end date will be. Any advice?
