Bluestone: Empowering Contractors with Flexible Mortgages

Bluestone is a mortgage lender that specialises in providing mortgages for people with unique financial situations, including contractors. They understand that contractors often have irregular income and non-traditional employment structures, so they offer flexible mortgage solutions tailored to these needs. Bluestone considers factors like contract income and the overall financial situation of the contractor, even if the applicant has a less-than-perfect credit history (includes missed payments, low credit scores, or past financial issues like defaults or County Court Judgments). Their approach aims to make it easier for contractors to secure a mortgage, even when traditional lenders might not approve them.
