Are 95% LTV rates easing for the contractor mortgage?

Signs in the mortgage market indicate that rates are reducing on products in the 95% LTV bracket, including contractor mortgage options.

A common assumption is that contractors represent a much riskier proposition for mortgage lenders. Consequently, those who work for themselves feel they are penalised with higher mortgage rates affecting their ability to borrow what they need affordably.

This may well have been true in the not so distant past, however, the contractor mortgage landscape is not quite as challenging as you’d imagine.

That said, not all lenders appreciate the needs of the contractor and you won’t be able to approach just anyone expecting they’ll approve your application. It is vital that you work with a lender who has your best interests in mind. Here at Deal Direct, we can help you with exactly that.
