As your mortgage is such an important transaction, good advice is imperative.
As an agency worker, you may have a good income, but it can be challenging to prove it to a prospective mortgage provider due to the nature of most agency contracts.
In the UK there is well over 800,000 people who are classified as agency workers working under contracts typically ranging from 3 to 12 months.
For many mortgage lenders, the lack of permanency of monthly income beyond a set contract end date is an issue, which means that when it comes to looking to buy property, your options are limited. The good news is that as flexible working has become more of the norm in the UK there are a number of lenders who will look at your requirements and take a view.
You will need one year of employment as a minimum to be considered for a mortgage as an agency worker, and as such, you will need to be able to demonstrate monthly earnings through payslips and bank account statements. Different lenders will have different requirements on criteria. It is likely a reference will be needed from the agency you are working for to confirm your employment status.
It will depend on your circumstances, your income, credit status, track record as an agency worker, how much you wish to borrow. Agency worker mortgages are typically offered by specialist mortgage lenders who have different criteria for assessing whether they will lend. Contact us to see what is possible.
