Contractor mortgages – will 2018 bring higher rates?
What will 2018 bring for those of you working for yourselves and seeking a great-value contractor mortgage?
The good news is that, despite the rise in the base rate, some contractor mortgage rates have actually decreased.
Newcastle Intermediaries, for instance, announced a rate reduction of up to 0.21% for contractor mortgage applicants with less two years' trading history or less.
Rates are now available from 1.90% for a 2-year fix, which includes the benefit of a free standard valuation of properties up to £500,000.
Newcastle is one among many contractor mortgage providers who are using the current market conditions to reassess their offering. The reassessment means that not all rates are increasing – and, in fact, many are doing the opposite, as in Newcastle’s case.
This could be excellent news for you as, if you act quickly, you can profit from the re-evaluations and secure a mortgage rate now that may not be available come the New Year.
