There are plenty of companies that offer mortgages based on day rates specifically for contractors. Can't offer any more than that at this stage as I'll be jumping in next year for the first time.

I am sure someone will be along soon with advice.

I do declare my correct income and pay tax but tax on dividends is only 7.5% so whilst I take home more than I did when earning £45k a year my gross income now is only approx £30k and that is the figure mortgage companies base there earnings on

Virgin money. Probably through a broker. Try mortgage solutions in Hertfordshire. I used them and they were good

I recall a firm trading as Supercontractors specialising in this.

2 choices really, go off your SA302s - probably averaged over 2 or 3 years.
OR go off your company returns.

3rd and best option speak to Sarnie... if it can be done he is your man.

Unfortunately I cannot help OP, but this point might be of interest to readers.

I was talking to my son, who is able to obtain a £400,000 mortgage.
The annual interest payment would be about £8,000, plus capital repayment.

Some of us remember mortgage rates around 15%, but not wanting to take an extreme, I asked him if the repayments would be affordable with interest rates at 10%.

Interest payment then would be £40,000 per year, plus capital repayment.

Younger home owners, who have only known post 2008 interest rates, might be in for quite a shock one day.

Going off topic, but that's why (IMHO) we will not see high interest rates for a generation or maybe two.
I think 5% is the very most it will reach and that might take 10-20 years from now.

Also not sure your maths works out. I would have thought the interest would be closer to £25k a year at 10%?

Possibly, but my experience of finance has taught me never to predict anything.
Do you think a government wanting more debt, might trigger a rate rise in borrowing international money ?

You have me wondering now, but I think 10% of £400,000 = £40,000.
Is that right ?

So in first year the repayments would be £43k but balance would only reduce to £396k.
However the monthly would remain level at 3600 so its front loaded so you are right in what you are saying but it does not apply for the term and the montly of 3600 would include capital repayment of 400k over 25 years. IYSWIM. So your £40k figure is right (ish) but the capital is included in that.

In the final year it would be the reverse so £43k paid on the account but roughly £39k of that is capital repayment.

I am crap at maths.... so not an expert!

I agree past history is not an indication of the future however I think if rates rose quickly and above 5% a lot of the country would default.

Inflation is up today. That's probably a sign of things to come. They cant put rates up just yet...

( While you were writing Simon, I did an edit to comment on your other point. )

Yes you are quite right. I did simplify, by only dealing with the increase in payments (of the interest part).
My conversation was to make my son think very seriously, before taking the mortgage. If the scenario were to happen, such an enormous incease in servicing cost, would probably mean repossession long before enjoying your reference to the final year of the mortgage.

The 'last in' mortgage borrowers, would of course be hurt more than others, some of whom are near the end of the contract.
