How much can I borrow?
This will depend on how you are paid. typically a contractor will receive a day rate income. This day rate will be multiplied by 5 to obtain the weekly rate and then calculated on a 46 – 48 week basis. Some lenders calculate the income differently but the above will be a good guide.
For example, a day rate of £500, x 5 provides a weekly income of £2,500 x 46 is an annual income of £115,000. The lender will then use this for affordability and will generally lend 4 – 5 times this amount.
Monthly or Annual contracts
Certain mortgage lenders can use the income evidenced in a contract where a monthly or annual income is stipulated. This is not the norm and will require a specialist lender.
