You can secure a mortgage for the contractor if you work for umbrella firms, are a zero-hours employee, are a freelancer, or are on a short-term contract.
Since the income fluctuates monthly, it may be more difficult for contractors to demonstrate their revenues. Most lenders want proof of your wages for the most recent six months. However, they may also ask for proof of your earnings for the previous two or three years.
You may need to provide documents such as bank statements, invoices, tax returns, business accounts, and contracts to substantiate your income.
Lenders may consider several years' worth of yearly earnings to determine an average annual income, so if you have worked as a contractor for a while, this is to your advantage.
You can normally secure lending at 4.5 times your current contract rate (after allowances for holidays). However, with excellent credit scores, some lenders can offer loans up to 5.5 times the day contractors’ gross annual contract rate.
You can improve your mortgage application as a contractor in several ways. As a first thing, you will need to give proof of consistent income. You can show evidence of repeat business and ongoing or extended agreements. In some cases, offering considerable deposits also helps improve chances for the best deals.
Ensure that you don't have longer breaks between each contract since the lenders see it as riskier.
Finally, plenty of proof showcasing financial soundness, including your credit score, will improve your mortgage application as a contractor.

Lenders assess contractors’ credit history and work records along with income history to decide the amount that the contractor qualifies for availing mortgage. However, being new doesn’t matter much when you have complete documentation and satisfy the lender’s queries.
Mortgage lenders have their own parameters for evaluating risk and fixing the deposit amount. Generally, you will need a minimum of 10% of the tender value to avail mortgage. With a higher percentage of deposit, you can get better interest deals.
Yes, it is still possible to get a mortgage if you can prove a new contract is in place.
