£550,000 mortgage for IT contractor using new contract
Trinity Financial recently arranged a £550,000 mortgage for an IT contractor using the income on his new contract.
He had a track record of working as an IT contractor, but he did not earn enough to purchase the property he wanted. He had a 10 per cent deposit.
Trinity’s broker approached a high street bank with a specialist team managing contractor applications. The lender provided generous affordability calculations for those earning over £500 per day, and his new contract enabled him to meet the criteria.
The lender's underwriter was happy to provide a mortgage even though the client had just started working for the new firm because of his track record demonstrated on his CV.
He was keen to secure the lowest possible rate to minimise his monthly repayments, and we arranged a particularly cheap two-year fix at 2.27%.
The mortgage offer was produced within ten working days.
