Fleet’s major employers — Blackwater Valley tech corridor, Fleet Business Park, MOD Church Crookham — generate a significant self-employed and contractor buyer population. The “Self-Employed” and “Contractor” tabs in the calculator above show the specialist lender assessment for these buyer types. A contractor on £600/day working in Fleet’s employment corridor can be assessed at £138,000 annualised income by a specialist lender (£600 × 5 days × 46 weeks) versus £12,500 salary-only at a standard bank — a difference of £125,500 in assessed income and approximately £627,000 in maximum mortgage at 5x. This is why specialist assessment is not optional for Fleet’s contractor population: it is the difference between accessing the Fleet market and being excluded from it.
