Seeking a Mortgage

Let us find the perfect mortgage!

Freelancer Financials have been negotiating and arranging the bespoke underwriting of mortgages for IT contractors for several years. We know and understand the problems that IT contractors have fitting into the inflexible mould created by the banks and financial institutions. Over the years, we have established many special relationships at senior management level within numerous high street lenders. As a result, arranging a mortgage for a contractor has become almost second nature to us

It is too easy to walk into a high street bank, building society or mortgage brokerage as an IT contractor and be promised the earth, only to be let down later.

There is rarely a day goes by that we don’t get a phone call from an IT contractor who is having a problem getting a mortgage and had several mortgage applications rejected by the high street banks. Many contractors often feel thoroughly dejected and claim that the lenders they have spoken to have treated them almost like second class citizens.

The trouble with most “high street” lenders is that, they have a narrow view of what can be treated as allowable earnings for mortgage purposes. Most high street lenders will want to see three years of accounts for your business, to ensure that your revenue stream is regular and not erratic.

There are obviously a lot of websites who claim to be IT contractor Mortgage specialists along with arranging mortgages for building contractors and a variety of other trades. Obviously this does not make them specialists at all and many of our clients whom we have successfully arranged mortgages had wasted their time using these companies before coming to us.
