CIS worker mortgages
Unlock mortgage options tailored specifically for Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) subcontractors.
Our brokers can use your annualised earnings to enhance affordability, helping you secure the home you deserve.

Overcoming the barriers to approval
CIS subcontractors often face challenges securing mortgages going through traditional routes. High street lenders rely heavily on accounts, payslips, and SA302s, which can paint an incorrect picture of your actual earning potential.
This outdated approach often leads to lower borrowing offers or rejected applications, putting CIS contractors in a difficult position. We remove these barriers by collaborating with specialist lenders who understand CIS income structures, ensuring the process is smooth and straightforward.

How much can you borrow?
Unlike high street lenders, we calculate affordability using your contract day rate. Here’s how it works:
- Day rate × 5 (days/week)
- × 46 (working weeks)
- × 4.5 to 5.5 (income multiple)
Example
If you earn £220 per day, your borrowing potential could be:
£220 × 5 (days) × 46 (weeks) × 4.5 (income multiplier) = £227,700.
This figure varies depending on credit history, deposit size, and lender criteria, but our brokers ensure you receive an accurate and competitive assessment.

Helping CIS workers with less-than-perfect credit
We know life isn’t always smooth sailing. That’s why we can help CIS subcontractors with minor credit issues, such as:
- Small CCJs or defaults registered over two years ago.
- Gaps in contracting history.
Our brokers work closely with specialist lenders, and our approach enhances the likelihood of approval even if you have had challenges in the past. Transparency is key. We’ll help you find and secure your dream home.
