I am a finacial contractor looking to buy a home in Bedford. My next step is to secure a mortgage ideally from Bank of Scotland. Am I best advised to contact Bank of Scotland directly or seek the help of a contractor specialist mortgage broker who is used to dealing with contractors and Bank of Scotland.

I’m in a bit of an onerous situation in as much as I and my partner are both self-employed (contractors) without any great accounts to show, although things are on the up I hope for this to change shortly. Basically my question for you is how hard would it be to get a 85k contractor mortgage with a lender such as Bank of Scotland?

Going through the contractor mortgage process to move to a buy to let with a new bank. All documents done and submitted. Received communication from the lender to say they can't move forward with application unless my current manager issues a letter saying my contract will definitely get extended and when new end date will be. Any advice?

Were I to inform Bank of Scotland that I’m contracting, are they likely to charge me a higher rate on my mortgage?
