I am looking for some mortgage advice. I am currently an engineering contractor, 18 months into a two contract. However, I'm unlikely to be moved onto a permanent contract until around March time. My question is, will Yorkshire Building Society even consider me for a mortgage before then? Is there such thing as a ‘contractor mortgage’?

For three 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 Yorkshire Building Society in his name using our joint deposit and for me to be added at a later date?

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 95k contractor mortgage with a lender such as Yorkshire Building Society?

I am finding the process of trying to obtain a contractor mortgage extremely 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?
