How Quickly Can You Get a Contractor Mortgage

How Quickly

We asked top specialist contractor mortgages broker Tony Harris how quickly he could get contractor mortgages. Was it a long-drawn out process? Here is how he replied.

“Our advisers will carry out an initial consultation via phone or email lasting 10-15 minutes. Once we agree which lender best suits your needs an agreement in principle can be secured. This will be within a matter of hours of your initial call or email.

“This gives you real clout when negotiating with estate agents etc. That’s because it shows the lender is broadly in agreement that they will lend you the money and that you can move quickly with any purchase.

Property Offer

“They would be assured that once you a seller has accepted your offer on a property, we’d agree a competitive interest rate scheme with you that meets your requirements and the application would go live straight away.

“After receipt of your initial instruction the whole process of underwriting, valuation and legal to you getting the keys to your new home in 4-8 weeks.

“It helps to speed things up, to get contractor mortgages, if you have the necessary documentation to hand. However, because we are able to do everything remotely via phone and email, the application is hassle free. It’s much faster than if you were to apply through a high street bank branch”.

Contractor Mortgages

That sounds pretty speedy to get contractor mortgages. It would put you to the head of the queue if you were bidding for a house.

Tony reckons that they can get a new contractor mortgage offers on the very first day of the new contractors first contract. They could have the new contractor in his, or her, dream house in less than a month.

Remortgage Deals | Cracking one-off rates for Contractors

Remortgage Deals

Remortgage Deals

There are a number of cracking remortgage deals for contractors at the moment.

Remortgage rates are at record lows as Lenders enter in to a price war in the run up to Christmas. It is a desperate bid by lenders to improve their lending stats before they have to show their books to the City. This is following a relative lending drought post MMR last spring.

As such, Contractors are in the ideal position to cash in and get remortgage deals on to a two-year fixed rate. This will enable them to ride out the widely predicted base rate increases expected in 2015.

Competitive Remortgage Deals

One contractor friendly Lender has launched a range of highly competitive remortgage rates which are based on contract rate alone. So you avoid the hassle of proving your income using company accounts.

You can, often, borrow more than your permie colleagues. Depending on how much equity you hold in your property you can access the following rate:-

– 60% LTV on a 2 year fixed rate at 2% with a £999 arrangement fee.

– 75% LTV on a 2 year fixed rate at 2.29% with no arrangement fee.

– 85% LTV on a 2 year fixed rate at 2.69% with no arrangement fee.

Remortgage Deals Only

All of these rates are available on remortgage only. They are to supplement the first time buyer rates which Halifax launched last week from as little as 2.99% at 90% LTV.

However, this is likely to be a flash sale. This is because when they release rates during a price war, they rarely stay around for long as Lenders test the market before stabilising their product book.

Contractors should act quickly to secure these competitive rates. They can then ride out the possible base rate rises and uncertainty that may be on the horizon for next year.
