I am seeking some mortgage advice. I am currently on a grad scheme, 18 months into a 2 contract. However, I'm unlikely to be moved onto a permanent contract until around December time. So I suppose my query is, will Virgin even consider me for a mortgage before then? Is there such thing as a ‘contractor mortgage’?

For two years now I have been a self employed contractor. Mortgage options are being looked at but it's a minefield. Is it worth me considering whether it would be possible for my boyfriend to get the mortgage with Virgin in his name using our joint deposit and for me to be added at a later date?

I am finding the process of looking for a contractor mortgage very frustrating. I can't seem to find any lenders who really understand my situation and the peculiarities of being a contractor. Are there any mortgage underwriters who apply a common sense to ensure getting a contractor mortgage is as straightforward as possible.

My existing mortgage lender had given us consent to let. My situation changed last year, I started my own company and started working as a contractor. Are you able to recommend a lender who specialises in contractor mortgages?
