Specialist mortgage advice for it contractors in Brighton. Whole of market. No broker fee. Lenders who understand your income.
Sussex’s growing tech sector, particularly around Brighton’s Silicon Beach and the Gatwick Diamond, means many buyers are contractors paid via day rates or limited companies. We work with lenders who assess contractor income at the annualised day rate rather than just company profits or dividends.
IR35 status, contract length, time between contracts and whether you trade through a limited company or umbrella all affect which lender is best for you. We know which lenders are most favourable for each contractor setup.
Brighton’s property market, with average prices around £420,000, means getting the best possible mortgage rate and borrowing multiple is essential. A 0.5% rate difference on a £420,000 property saves thousands over the term. Call 01273 907 234 for specialist it contractor mortgage advice tailored to Brighton.
Standard high street mortgage assessments often undervalue it contractor income. By matching you with lenders who understand your specific pay structure, we can typically secure higher borrowing limits and better rates than you would find going direct. The difference can be significant — enough to step up from a two-bed flat to a three-bed house, or from a terraced house to a semi-detached in Brighton.
Our advice is free — we are paid by the lender when your mortgage completes. There is no cost to you at any stage of the process. Call 01273 907 234 for a free assessment of your borrowing power as a it contractor in Brighton.
