    What affects your borrowing and repayments? It’s not just about your income. Lenders look at these factors, which shape how much you can borrow and what you’ll pay monthly:


    Deposit size and loan term

    A larger deposit or shorter term can improve your options.

    Credit history

    Your track record matters; good credit often means better deals.

    Financial commitments

    Existing debts or expenses impact affordability.

    Dependents

    More dependents can affect how much you can borrow.

    Contract details

    Your rate, contract length, and experience play a big role.

    After a terrible experience with another broker, which was putting the purchase of my property at risk, a friend recommended contacting Freelancer Financials. My only regret was that I hadn't contacted them much sooner! George was absolutely superb and I felt immediately reassured. His expert guidance, understanding, professionalism and communication exceeded my expectations. Within a matter of days - after a delay of some 7 weeks and a lot of stress with the previous broker - I was in receipt of a great mortgage offer. The whole process was seamless and simple. Dealing with George directly, rather than a series of people in a call centre, made such a difference. I can honestly say, this is one of the best examples of customer experience I've ever had and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Freelancer Financials to anybody.

They take utmost care from start of the application till the completion by ensuring everything go smooth and always send us reminders on the renewal options well in advance. We have been with them for last 9+ years and always the first choice for any mortgage applications and had referred many of the friends and they were pretty happy as well. I would definitely recommend them !!!! Thank you Natasha and Freelance Financial team for your overwhelming support ..

    Another seamless mortgage renewal through Andrew Saunders at Freelancer Financials (despite throwing ever more complexity his way)! After 10 years I really can't recommend Andrew enough - from start to finish, he always makes the entire process efficient and straightforward, and his expertise in navigating the complexities of contractor mortgages is clear. Huge thanks also to Leanie Freed.
