Zero Hour Contracts

Hi,
My partner and I are in a tricky situation in that we are both on contracts. I am on fixed term contract which has been renewed several times and is around 2 years service currently but will either expire or become permanent around the time our fixed term mortgage expires. I won't know the employment outcome until closer to the time, which is currently around 6 months away. My partner is also on contract which has been renewed several times and has around 2 years of service however he is on a zero hour contract. He will most likely be offered another contract as the work is ongoing however it will probably be another zero hour contract. We will have approx 80% LTV. What companies is it worth approaching to consider our mortgage?
Thank you

Stick with the SVR with your current provider and then look to remortgage in six months when your employment status is confirmed?0

What is your existing lender willing to offer you?
The result of the General Election tomorrow may have a bearing on Zero Hour contracts. Lenders will adjust their criteria accordingly.0 -
