At last! You too can access the best mortgage deals on the market….even without accounts!

We can secure the most competitive mortgages based on contract rates alone. We overcome the difficulty of obtaining a mortgage, or remortgage, because we have close relations with senior underwriters who completely understand the way you work!

We have arrangements agreed with lenders that will use their standard multiple of income on your current annualised contract rate to calculate a maximum loan size. The key here is to ensure that the application is properly packaged and falls in front of the right decision makers rather than using staff in branch networks. This avoids having to present 3 years accounts that probably don’t fully reflect your earnings or disposable income for verification of affordability.

“We are Contractor Mortgage Specialist that can secure you a competitive mortgage based on your contract rate alone”

Documents required by the underwriters

  • A copy of your latest contract confirming your contract rate
  • A copy of your updated CV
  • 3 months bank statements confirming your contract earnings

It really is that simple……

Mortgages tailored to your specific Requirements

Freelancer Financials are specialists in advising and arranging mortgages for contractors and freelancers. Our clients range from IT Programmers, Business Analyst, Engineers, Telecom consultants, Management Consultants, Operational Risk Management, Change Management, Marketing Consultants, Accountants, Actuaries, Architects, Surveyors, Oil & Gas, Doctors, Medics and Teachers.

Historically lenders have penalised Freelancers when it comes to sourcing a mortgage. Bank branch staff struggle to understand the Freelancer’s world. Many contractors referred to us have been let down by non-specialist brokers who have approached the wrong lender or poorly packaged the application.

“We have worked hard over the years to develop strong relationships with lenders in relation to simplifying this process and what qualifies as relevant earnings for lending purposes for Freelancers. The key here is to ensure that the application is properly packaged and falls in front of the right decision makers rather than using staff in branch networks.”

John Yerou (MD of Freelancer Financials)

Most lenders have a simplistic view of what qualifies as relevant earnings for lending purposes. In contrast, we are able to directly present your application to senior underwriters so that your full earnings potential is taken into account, including earnings which are not paid out but retained within the company for tax planning purposes.

Specialist in arranging mortgages for contractors

Choosing an experienced mortgage broker is absolutely paramount to avoid the agonies of dealing with mortgage underwriters who are inexperienced and do not understand the contracting market. An experienced advisor who specialises in arranging mortgages for freelancers can smooth the path of any mortgage application, as long as a contractor possesses a current contract verifying his daily or hourly rate.

Why Choose Freelancer Financials?

Over 99% of our clients are contractors and as such we are very experienced in dealing with Contractors and understanding the different ways in which contractors work (limited company, umbrella, EBT etc) and ensure we can secure a mortgage using bespoke contract based underwriting that we’ve negotiated with a number of high street lenders.

At Freelancer Financials we offer a clear and impartial service to bypass the frustration of being rejected by lenders with an out-of-date bias towards permanent employment. We can secure the most competitive mortgages regardless of how your daily rate is paid to you. We appreciate that for tax reasons many contractors will draw a minimum salary and also restrict dividend drawings from their company to avoid higher rate personal tax.
