KRBS will consider applications from day rate contractors.
Whether you are a contractor operating through your limited company or through a payroll umbrella, KRBS will take a view and consider your application.
KRBS’s policy towards day rate contractors is as follows:
- KRBS have a minimum day rate of £275
- Great lender for limited company buy to let’s
- Will consider applications from most professions.
- Have some products for an 80% LTV buy to lets, meaning that you only need a 20% deposit.
- KRBS require you to have at least one renewal under your belt.
- Great if you have not been contracting for at least 12 months and are not in IT
KRBS will calculate your gross contract value in the following way:
- KRBS tend to take your day rate then multiply by 5 days then multiply this by 48 weeks to reach the gross contract value.
- They will not utilise the average of the previous year to reach an average day rate. For example, if on a day rate or hourly rate
- £350 per day x 5 days x 48 weeks = £84,000 gross contract value
- £42 per hour x (number of hours stipulated or 37.5 hours default) x 48 weeks = £75,600 gross contract value
In order to package your application, we will require:
- Proof of ID such as Passport or DVLA Licence
- Proof of Address such as Utility Bill or Council Tax Bill
- Current Contract with the Terms and Conditions, needs to be signed and dated
- Previous contract to evidence renewal.

Having everything up front makes our job easier and ensures that we can present your application to the KRBS contractor mortgages underwriter in a presentable fashion so that they can swiftly make a decision that will be positive.
