CIS
Sub-Contractors

We can use your CIS statements as pay slips using the gross pay if you are in the construction industry and get paid via the CIS scheme. This means you can be tax efficient, claim your rebate and still get the mortgage loan you deserve. You only need to have been trading for 3 months but are required to have two years of industry experience as an employee or self-employed.

Contractors/ Freelancers

If you're a day rate contractor, we can use your daily contract rate rather than your taxable income. This means you can borrow using your gross pay and using your contract as income proof. Most lenders will require three or more months of contractor experience but a couple of lenders only require one month of contractor experience if you have two years of industry experience in the same line of work. No need to pay more tax if you are approaching a higher rate personal tax band.

Umbrella Contractors

If you are a contractor paid via an umbrella company, we can use your contract and pay slips to secure you a mortgage. The same rules apply to you as they do to any contractor; you just can't use an offshore umbrella company. The lender will use your contract rate to calculate income. This often saves Limited Company Directors from having to pay higher personal tax bills in order to secure a mortgage.

Day One Contractors

As contractor specialist, we have a couple of contractor-friendly lenders that only require one-month of contractor experience if you have two years of industry experience in a similar field. The lender will want to see your first month's payment on your bank statements and use the current contract as income proof. As a contractor, you get treated differently than ordinary self-employed people. Due to your current contract, the lender can use this income for affordability. The main advantage is that we don't use your taxable income, only your current contract gross day rate to calculate how much you can borrow.

Welcome To Jones & Young Mortgages

Professional mortgage advisers with years of experience helping contractors get the mortgage they deserve without increasing their taxable income to get the mortgage they want. To calculate your contractor income, lenders use the formula:

Gross Day Rate x days in week worked x 46 or 48 weeks = annual income lenders will use. Some lenders use 46 weeks and others 48 weeks to calculate the annual income.

View our contractor mortgage calculator.

As specialist brokers and contractor specialists, we’ll find you the most competitive mortgage deal and present your income to a contractor mortgage lender in the right way. Our high-street lenders can use your retained profits, net profits or gross day rates. Instead of the average two years of company accounts, we only need 1 to 3 months of contractor experience. This is significantly less than the 12 to 24 months most self-employed people are required to provide. Our contractors are treated differently during the application process as we use your contract as income proof, rather than your self-assessment tax return or limited company accounts.

At Jones and young, we’ve secured hundreds of mortgages for contractors over the past few years and offer a whole of market approach. Not only does this ensure that they’re able to access the mortgage deals they need, but we can make this happen without delays and with consistently reliable outcomes.
