Award-winning mortgage broker relaunches website and expands focus to include all types of contract workers and self-employed individuals in the UK.
Freelancer Financials, a specialist broking brand of Mortgage Quest Limited, has announced a major transformation with the relaunch of its website and expanded services to cater to the growing flexible workforce in the UK. With a new focus on all types of contract workers and self-employed individuals, Freelancer Financials aims to provide expert financial advice and mortgage solutions to this vital sector of the economy.
The UK’s flexible workforce has seen significant growth over the past two decades, with contractors, independent professionals, and the self-employed becoming an essential part of the economy. However, traditional mortgage lending practices have failed to accommodate the unique income structures of these individuals. Freelancer Financials has been at the forefront of addressing this gap, educating lenders and advocating for underwriting criteria that accurately reflect the realities of flexible workers.
“Our industry has evolved, and so have we,” says John Yerou, Managing Director of Mortgage Quest Limited and Founder of Freelancer Financials. “This relaunch marks our commitment to providing mortgages and protection cover to the entire UK flexible labour workforce. We have been pioneers in the mortgage market, introducing contract-based underwriting in 2004, and have remained the leading specialist broker ever since.”
The new website, developed in partnership with leading creative agency KOTA, features a wide range of interactive tools and resources, including mortgage calculators, lender guides, and comprehensive advice for every type of contract worker. It also offers insights into specialist mortgages, protection insurance for homes and income, and guides to mortgages, home buying, and contracting. The platform aims to make the mortgage process more accessible and tailored to the unique needs of contract workers.
Despite the relaunch and expanded focus, some things will remain unchanged at Mortgage Quest Limited. The company is still a family-owned, independent brokerage with no ties to any lender, offering unbiased advice. Its industry leadership has also been recognized with several awards, including “Best Contractor Mortgage Broker” at the Contracting Awards for four out of five years and “Residential Broker of the Year” at the Next Intelligence awards in 2025.
The relaunch of Freelancer Financials is not just a milestone for contract workers, but also presents an opportunity for partners to tap into the growing flexible workforce market and develop an additional income stream. “We invite forward-thinking partners serving the flexible workforce to collaborate with us,” says Yerou. “The market is ready for innovation, and together, we can make contractor mortgages more accessible than ever.”
John Yerou, with his vast experience and expertise in topics such as contractor-friendly underwriting practices, the evolution of the UK’s flexible workforce, the outlook for the UK housing market, and mortgage rates, is available for interviews and thought leadership opportunities for journalists, bloggers, and financial services partners.
