About Freelancer Financials

Whilst running Mortgage Quest Ltd., Freelancer Financials' founder, John Yerou, gained first-hand experience of how difficult it was to secure mortgages for contractors. That was in 2004.

John subsequently set out to change lenders' biased attitudes toward contractors and freelancers. The process began by negotiating the underwriting criteria for assessing a contractor's relevant earnings for lending purposes. Once they understood what was relevant, those lenders' perceptions of our industry changed.

The resultant products are now commonly referred to as contract-based mortgages or contractor mortgages. The lengths John went to for the contracting community has seen Freelancer Financials become one of the largest Contractor Mortgage Specialists in the UK today.

Freelancer Financials: a brand you can trust

We're now synonymous with mortgage and protection insurance products for contractors and freelancers across the UK. Beyond that niche, we're also one of the UK's largest specialist mortgage brokers outright. Our expanding team now boasts more than 30 staff, including 14 advisers plus 10 support staff in our office in Pinner, North West London.

We're not a run-of-the-mill mortgage broker. We understand that the approach to a contractor's mortgage application differs entirely to that of someone who's permanently employed.

Even now, new clients bemoan the fact that front desk mortgage advisers at High Street banks still don't "get" contracting. Therefore, the need for a mortgage specialist like us — committed to serving the contractor community — is greater than ever.

To date, we've helped thousands of contractors secure mortgages at least as competitive as those available to PAYE employees. Using a combination of our award-winning mortgage service and solid industry connections, we continue to break down barriers.

Our close relationships with key decision makers at mortgage lenders, whom, like us, are familiar with all aspects of contracting, offer you the guarantee that you're getting the best advice on the market from people who truly understand the way you work.
