Unusual Employment – Is Your Employment Status Effecting Your Mortgage Ability?

By Chris Morgan | Published: 27th May 2019

Mortgages can be difficult to obtain for Fixed Term Contract and Temporary Agency Workers? By Chris Morgan

Have you found the perfect property only to find out that the obvious high street mortgage lenders, will not offer you a mortgage on what appears to be suitable security offered to them?

Even though you have a significant deposit money and solid income affordability, they have decided for what appears to be an insignificant reason to decline your mortgage application?

It can be soul destroying exercise searching for the right property, only to find out that because you work on Fixed Term Contract or on a temporary agency contract they would decline your application.

Here are some examples of the types of situations that it may be difficult to find mortgage finance for …

  • Mortgage applicants who work on rolling fixed term contracts.
  • Mortgage applicants who work on temporary contracts through an agency.
  • Mortgage applicants who have switched their employment status from self-employed to employed recently and may be within a probationary period.
  • Mortgage applicants who have switched their employment status from employed to self employed. (Subject to minimum 12 months self-employed)
  • Self Employed Mortgage applicants with only 12 months trading figures and accounts.

We have seen many examples where high street mortgage lenders such as Halifax, Santander and Woolwich have refused clients mortgages, based on the employment scenario’s above.

However, you should not give up easily and contact the countries leading specialist adviser for finding mortgages for those in Unusual Employment situations like fixed term, agency and probationary contracts.
