We're on your side
Most lenders — or even ‘vanilla’ mortgage brokers — will try to process you in one of two ways:
Self-employed, if your payment structure uses accounts
PAYE, if you receive payslips (agency, umbrella, etc.)
Neither method is conducive to getting a relevant or competitive mortgage offer for contractors. Most in-branch advisers or call centre agents don’t understand contract pay. But they won’t tell you that to your face.
This is how Freelancer Financials are different. We understand how contract income is made up and processed. The specialist underwriters we deal with direct know it, too. Because of that, we know how to present your income in its best light to lenders. And that’s how you get an unbeatable mortgage offer using our service.
Freelancer Financials give your contractor mortgage application its very best chance of success. This gets you the most competitive deal, relative to your income and status.
How? By bypassing lender call centres and their in-branch advisers not trained in specialist income.
Instead, we go directly to specialist underwriting teams. Like us, their dedicated experts understand contractor and umbrella income completely. So there’s no need for:
Payslips
SA302’s
Accounts
They just use common sense underwriting, which maximises a contractors borrowing potential.
How much can I borrow?
A proven track record since 2004
Founded in 2004, Freelancer Financials has been at the forefront of transforming the mortgage landscape for contractors. As contractor mortgage pioneers, we’ve played a key role in educating lenders, enhancing assessment criteria, and securing thousands of mortgages for contractors nationwide.
With more than two decades of expertise, we’re the safe and trusted pair of hands you need to navigate the complexities of contractor mortgages.
Contractors cannot rely on the sick pay and death-in-service benefits they were used to as employees, as these are only available to permanent staff. Instead, they need to put their own cover in place to protect themselves, their families and their homes in the event of illness or death.
One size does not fit all – you need protection insurance that works for your specific personal situation. Our expert protection advisers will propose a package of cover tailored to suit a your unique circumstances.

I have worked with Neetesh and Natalie for just over three years across multiple mortgages, and they are by far the most trusted brokers I have come across. Over the past decade I have worked with several brokers, but no one comes close to the level of service, strategic advice, and genuine thoughtfulness that Neetesh and Natalie bring.I have called Neetesh for advice on a wide range of situations — from purchasing different investment properties and exploring loan options, to financing renovations for our own home. He has always been incredibly responsive, welcoming, and easy to work with. No matter how straightforward or complex the situation, he takes the time to think through the options and provide clear, practical guidance.They are particularly skilled at working with freelancers and business owners, and have a strong understanding of how to navigate more complex income structures. On several occasions they have helped secure mortgages even when things looked challenging.I would not imagine working with anyone else. I have already recommended Neetesh and Natalie to friends and family and will absolutely continue to do so. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for knowledgeable, reliable, and genuinely supportive mortgage brokers.

Raj is an outstanding broker for Freelancers, extremely knowledgeable, responsive and empathetic. Could not recommend him enough. I really felt he had our best interests at heart and he got us our mortgage really fast when other brokers said the freelance history made it too difficult.

I have used the services of Freelancer Financials from last 5 years and so far have done 3 mortgages with them. Roger Hogg has "always" provided me the best solutions every single time and I can't recommend him and Deepa Pareek highly enough. They are one of the best teams around and I can't wait for getting my 4th Mortgage done through them next year. Thank you Roger and Deepa for the excellent work to date!!

I have been a client for the past few years and come to know Ryan and Katherine through recommendation. I have had the pleasure of dealing with them for a recent mortgage application, as always everything was handled with great care and attention to detail.For me, communication is very important, particularly updates during the process and this is something both Ryan and Katherine do really well, so organised, ensuring a complete peace of mind from start to finish.I am really thankful for the assistance to date, it is very much appreciated and for sure, my first call for anything mortgage related.

We had a unique and challenging situation when trying to secure a mortgage to buy our first home but our experience with Archie Hogg at Freelancer Financials was second to none. His dedication, patience and personal approach alleviated so much stress and encouraged us to persevere in our goal. We've just recently bought our house now and honestly couldn't have done it without Archie's support and expertise. Thank you!
