short term employment mortgage

i currently work on a rolling 3 month employment contract, i earn 28k per annum and have a deposit of 35k, i hope to get a mortgage for a property with a value of around 155k, is this possible on a short term employment contract?

  • In short yes.

    However most will need a trail of continuous employment as a contractor in that field for at least 18 months - 2 years.

    No if you answer the application questions the wrong way. For example inputting 'temp' into many a lenders software will automatically cause a decline.
