Contractor Mortgages
Contractor Mortgages in the UK
Contracting offers flexibility and strong earning potential, but it also requires a more specialist approach when it comes to securing a mortgage. Many high street lenders apply standard criteria, which often does not reflect how contractor income is structured. At Intra Mortgage Solutions, we arrange contractor mortgages with lenders who understand the day rate model and contract-based income. These lenders assess your income based on your current contract, track record and overall earning capacity. Whether you operate in IT, finance, construction or other contract-led sectors, we structure bespoke mortgage solutions that are aligned with your working model and financial profile.
How Contractor Income is Assessed
One of the key challenges contractors face is how income is calculated. Many lenders underestimate borrowing potential by not using the correct assessment method.
We work with lenders who understand the contractor model, including:
-
Day rate calculations based on contract income
-
Contract length, history and continuity
-
Current and upcoming contracts
-
Industry demand and experience level
In many cases, lenders can use your day rate to estimate annual income, which can significantly improve your borrowing capacity compared to traditional methods.
Every lender has different criteria. Our role is to ensure your income is presented in the most accurate and favourable way.
