it used to be that you had to show an earning pattern that would cover the mortgage repayments, so being a contractor would not bar you but it used to be unlikely that you would get a mortgage until you have been contracting for at least a couple of years.

however since then they seem to give them out to anyone walking past the bank/building society and now it would seem to be the preserve of those that have at least twice the value of the house in cash in the bank

so its anyone's guess
You cant outrun the world, but there is no harm in getting a head start

Real stupidity beats artificial intelligence every time.
