Mortagage for temporary worker

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone new of a mortgage lender that would be willing toconsider a borrower that was on a temporary contract with work.
I am in the fortune position that I had a good deposit (50k) and although Iam a temporary worker I have been contracted at the same company for over 2yrs. However when I spoke to my bank about applying for a mortgage, they saidmy income would not be taken into account therefore I wasn’t even eligible toapply for a mortgage with them. So Im left wondering…if my own bank that I’vebeen with for 15+ years won’t consider me....is there any hope elsewhere??

Thoughts and advise very welcome!

Hi there,
Do not worry there are other options, although not all on the high street.
What exactly does your contract look like; is it just through one company?
Will it ever be made permanent or are you a contractor rather than temporary.
Devil is in the detail, but there will be options. Likely to need a broker to deal with this one though and your deposit makes a big difference (depending on purchase price obviously...)I am a Mortgage Broker
