Let us show you how to get YOURS today

Contractor Weekly, have teamed up with Freelancer Financials, the largest Contractor Mortgage Specialist firm in London to offer competitive mortgages based on contract rate alone.

Even though the majority of contractors have greater earning potential than their counterpart permies, when it comes to getting a mortgage, this often counts for nothing. But don’t worry, many contractors face problems when applying for a mortgage, as the majority of high street lenders are set-up towards lending to PAYE employees.  The sad fact is that most lenders simply don’t understand how contractors work.

For the majority of contractors, insufficient trading history or accounts, is often the main reason for having their mortgages applications rejected. Banks and building societies want to see a minimum of 2-3 years audited accounts. They will typically assess your affordability based on salary and dividends drawn – in other words, just the Taxable Element of your earnings.

For contractors trading through a Limited Company this can present a problem when applying for a mortgage. Most prudent contractors operate in a tax efficient way by drawing a minimum salary and restricting dividends to avoid higher rate tax. Perfectly good tax planning, under normal circumstances, and if your accountant is doing this, you DON’T need a new one! However, the downside is that prudent tax planning has the unintended effect of reducing your potential borrowing.

Freelancer Financials can find you a competitive high street mortgage, based on YOUR contractor status!

Freelancer Financials have negotiated “Contract Based Underwriting” with a number of mainstream lenders and building societies. This means that they can arrange a mortgage on your behalf based on a multiple of your contract earnings alone. That’s right, NO Accounts, Pay slips, P60’s, SA302’s or Tax Returns. Instead, your borrowing will be assessed on your current contract rate, projected to an annual earnings total, with the tax planning option to draw a lower salary.

How much can you borrow?

Just multiply your daily contract rate by the number of days worked each week x 48 weeks. Multiply this total by 5 to calculate the mortgage offer you can generally expect. So, a contractor on £550 per day equates to gross annual contract earnings of £132,000 (£550 x 5 x 48). Allowing you to borrow up to £660,000 to buy or remortgage a property.

Paperwork required by Freelancer Financials

  • A copy of your current contract confirming your daily/hourly rate
  • A copy of your updated CV
  • 3-6 months bank statements confirming your earnings

It’s that simple……

I switched over to QAccounting a few months ago and haven't looked back. I get to speak to my own client manager and accountant, the prices were the best I had seen, and I paid exactly what it said online (no extra costs). Very happy with QA.
