About Freelancer Financials

Whilst running Mortgage Quest Ltd., Freelancer Financials’ founder, John Yerou, gained first-hand experience of how extremely difficult it was to secure mortgages for contractors. That was seven years ago.

John subsequently set out to change Lenders’ biased attitudes towards contractors and freelancers. By negotiating the underwriting criteria for assessing a contractor’s relevant earnings for lending purposes, 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 now stand as one of the most instantly-recognisable brand names in mortgage and protection insurance products for contractors and freelancers across the UK. Furthermore, we’re one of the UK’s largest specialist mortgage brokers in our own right, our expanding team currently boasting more than 20 advisers and support staff.

We’re not one of your run-of-the-mill mortgage brokers. How come? Because we understand that the approach to a contractor’s mortgage application is completely different to that of someone who’s permanently employed.

Even to this day, 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 using a combination of our award-winning mortgage service and solid industry connections.

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.
