Contractor Mortgage in Church Crookham
Day Rate Assessment in Church Crookham
Specialist lenders do not use the payslip salary — they multiply your day rate by 46 working weeks to produce an annualised income figure. A 500 per day rate becomes 115,000. A 650 per day rate becomes 149,500. At 5x, those figures produce maximum mortgages of 575,000 and 747,500 respectively. In Church Crookham’s property market, specialist assessment typically opens 2 to 3 additional market tiers versus standard bank assessment.
IR35 and Your Church Crookham Mortgage
Your IR35 position determines the assessment route. Outside IR35 via limited company: day rate annualisation as above. Inside IR35 via umbrella: gross umbrella income is assessed. Both produce dramatically better outcomes than standard bank salary assessment. We confirm the correct methodology for your specific rate and IR35 status before any credit search.
