CIS Contractor Mortgages

If you are a CIS contractor and want to get your hands on a new mortgage, it can be difficult to fully understand what you should be doing. CIS Mortgages can be a pain when working alone, that’s why our team offers services to make sure that you have all of the information you need.

Why are CIS Mortgages Different?

CIS (Construction Industry Scheme) mortgages differ from standard mortgages because contractors are paid based on invoices, rather than a regular salary, making it difficult to demonstrate affordability and income stability to lenders.

However, many lenders now specifically cater to CIS contractors, providing mortgage options that assess gross income or weekly invoices instead of solely relying on tax returns. This has now turned out to be much more accurate than other methods.

After originally contacting JG Mortgages last year, they worked closely with us until we were able to get a better mortgage deal. They gave us genuinely human advice and there have been times where me and my partner have felt like we’re the only case that Josh and Joel have been dealing with because their communication is so thorough and they go way above and beyond what is normally expected of a mortgage broker. Josh and Joel are worth their weight in gold! We are so over the moon with that we’ve finally been able to get a full mortgage offer, despite it taking a little longer than expected to get there (which was through no fault of theirs), but are so excited to finally be moving into our dream first home!

I cannot thank Josh and Joel enough for their help literally from start to finish of the whole process. They guided me and listened to all my silly questions as I really didn’t have clue where to start! Went above and beyond to help me secure the best deal. Thanks both

Can't recommend Josh & joel highly enough. from day one both were very welcoming, informative and truly invested in securing us the best deal possible for our remortgage. What we feared would be a long and stressful process ended up being the complete opposite, with Josh and Joel both being so chilled laid back and knowledgeable this really put us at ease, nothing was ever to much trouble for them and constant updates made the whole process go so smoothly and quick, again making things as stress free as possible for us. Will definitely be using JG Mortgage services again in the future and would highly anyone & everyone to do the same.

I just wanted to say how incredible Josh and Joel have been throughout the entire process of helping us with our new home. From the very beginning, they took the time to explain everything clearly, kept us updated throughout, checked in regularly, and were always supportive and understanding. Even after our mortgage was accepted, they continued to be there for us. No question ever felt like a hassle, and they were always happy to help. They made what could have been a stressful experience so much simpler and smoother. I would highly recommend Josh and Joel to anyone, whether you’re a first-time buyer or selling your home. Their professionalism, knowledge, and genuine care made all the difference. Thank you both for all your help! Xxx

Why are CIS Mortgages Different?

Getting through the mortgage process as a CIS contractor can be challenging, but you don’t have to do it alone. At JG Mortgage Services, we specialise in helping CIS contractors secure tailored mortgages that meet their needs.

Our experienced brokers work closely with lenders who understand your unique situation to make sure the process is as smooth and hassle-free as possible. Contact us today to discuss your options and we will be happy to answer all of your questions.

To qualify for a CIS mortgage, you must be registered with the Construction Industry Scheme and receive post-tax pay under it. As stated before, lenders will also usually require proof of income, like payslips, invoices, or bank statements.

Eligibility criteria will differ depending on the lender, but some may accept applications with a short work history or adverse credit. A specialist mortgage broker can assist you in exploring your options.

The borrowing amount for CIS contractors mostly depends on your gross income, the lender’s criteria, and your overall affordability. Some lenders determine your borrowing capacity by multiplying your gross day rate or weekly income by a standard number of working weeks in a year.

While many lenders offer 4 to 5 times your annual income, a mortgage broker can help you find lenders that provide higher borrowing amounts tailored to your circumstances.

CIS Contractor Mortgage FAQs

The deposit requirement for CIS mortgages is similar to that of standard mortgages. Typically, you’ll need at least 5% to 10% of the property’s value as a deposit.

However, the size of your deposit can impact the mortgage rates available to you. A larger deposit may result in lower interest rates and a wider choice of lenders. Specialist lenders may also offer flexible options if your deposit is smaller.

Luckily, there are plenty of banks that offer CIS Mortgages, however, this is not something you would need to worry about if you were to get in touch with our team. We will deal with the banks for you while you focus on finding the perfect home.
