Mortgages Made Simple for Contractors
Meet Our Trusted
Partner, Cleerly
Being a contractor gives you the freedom to work on your terms, but when it comes to getting a mortgage, that freedom can feel like a roadblock. Many lenders don’t understand how contractors work, making it harder to get approved, borrow what you need, or secure a fair deal.
At The Accounting Crew, we believe contractors shouldn’t be penalized just because they don’t fit the “traditional” borrower profile. That’s why we’ve partnered with Cleerly, a specialist mortgage broker that helps contractors, freelancers, and professionals with complex incomes get the mortgage they deserve—without the hassle.
Why Contractors Struggle with Mortgages
Most lenders follow rigid rules that don’t work for contractors:
- Umbrella workers – Lenders often ignore bonuses, commissions, and expenses, reducing how much you can borrow.
- Limited company directors – Traditional lenders may require years of accounts, limiting borrowing potential if you run your business tax-efficiently.
- Complex incomes – If your earnings don’t fit the standard salary model, you may be turned away or offered high-interest rates.
