Being on a temporary contract (otherwise known as a fixed term contract) means that many lenders will not take your income into account when assessing if you can afford the loan. In particular they view agency employees as being a higher risk than contractors. Some lenders are happy to consider lending 90% or even 95% while you are in temporary employment.

The condition is that you must show a track record of employment in the same industry or in a similar job. Study at university can also be considered as being in the same line of work as well.

Please call one of our mortgage brokers for more information.
